About a week before high school graduation at Windsor High School in Stockport, Ohio, in 1938, Bill Calendine, Bob Durben and other seniors were chipping at golf balls, just playing around on the playground outside the school building. Someone hit the ball into the nearby cemetery.

My father(Bill Calendine) hit the ball out of the cemetery so hard that it flew through a window in the study hall and rattled back and forth across the room (according to my father's brother, Ronald who was in the study hall). Stewart McFarland was the study hall teacher.

My father had to go to the study hall door, knock and ask for the ball to be given back to him. He was sure he would be in trouble, but Mr. McFarland gave him the ball and never said anything.

These seniors were out playing because they had good enough grades they didn't have to take exams and had some free time on their hands. The golf clubs belonged to Frank Davidson who lived across the street from the school.
