PASA LA BOLA! - I attended Morris High from 1962-1964 and as a teenage Jamaican immigrant I don't think the culture shock could not have been better facilitated anywhere else - The school was truly integrated - The whole Morrisania section of the Bronx was truly integrated in a strange way. Hispanics were in one section, Orthodox Jews in another and Black people,not African Americans,but Black People were in another. At School there was one Black female teacher with a Jewish last name,which escapes me now, and she taught English LIT. The classrooms were totally integrated and taught by a host of Ethnicities. Dr. Albert Schweitzer was the Principal. Mr.Fiore(Civics&Photography) Mr.Lieken(Spanish),Mr.Balough,(Gym)Mr. Kalish and Mr Von Kemp were the Deans of Boys. Dr. Albert Schweitzer was prncipal, Miss Rotolo(Math.)Mr Herbert Miller Music(Jr. Band)etc., etc., etc. The Lunchroom was not except for the area where the Soccer team sat. At our table There were German,Russian,Hispanic and a potpourri students from all over the caribbean to include Antigua, Jamaica, Martinique,St.Kitts, and Trinidad. It would blow my mind when I listend to the Russian and the German conversing fluently in a language I couldn't readily identify at the time. When I inquired about their ability to communicate they explained that their journey to America had brought them from their native land through a few different countries one of which was Brazil and they were conversing in Portuguese. The cry on the soccer field among all of us was PASA LA BOLA a phrase we constantly heard from Mejia who was from Guatemala, I think. No classroom education was better than what I learned in the lunchroom and on the Soccer field while attending Morris if you get my drift. By the way our coach's name was MR. Dreben(hope I spelled it right)- Thank You Morris and PASA LA BOLA!

I attended this school in the 80's and I simply loved it. It taught me to be independant, self reliant, and to know my true potential as a young woman. My thanks goes to Mr. james Reynolds and Ms Nina Strattner, They were the most awesome, dedicated and kindest counselors one could ever ask for. I miss them and hope they are doing well.
