Requesting Parents' Assessment of Hyde School

[Anonymous]

I had no hyde kool-aide. Had some of the electric kind in summer school. There was a guy in the outhouse that had a picture of a toad on the wall. He had a sheet of blotter acid behind the picture. I remember being in the room with him and having Henry Milton come in. Old Henry looked directly at the picture and comented on it. You have never really experiance Henry until you listen to him give you a lecture on resonsiblity as his face is melting into his torso. I have a fond memory of him looking like a picasso cubist rendering.

 :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

OHHHH, ...too excellent!!

My other fond rememberance of Henry involves Todd Donahue. Todd sang the dylan song "don't ya' tell henry"  at a school performance. I knew at the time he was screwing Henry's wife and that was why he was sing the song, to Marsha.

 I never spoke in a school meeting unless spoken to directly.   It was my own personal rule.  Joe tried to may a school meeting about me once.  He did a imitation of me being defeated at a wrestling match. "I wonder how that must have felt.  It must have been really humiliating" he said as he glared at me.  I just sat there and glared back.  He releaized he was not going to crack me and moved on to something else.  I never broke a rule during the two regular years I was in attendance.  I never turned anyone in.  I never confronted anybodies attitide. Patrick Magoonan in the "Prisoner" was my role model.  Worked for me.

You describe that episode with Henry so nicely. I almost feel as if I were there with you being lectured to by Bugs Bunny. Funny that you should mention toads. It was the first school meeting on the first day of summer school, and Joe had already worked himself into a lather. Suddenly, in the middle of the meeting, Joe goes silent, as this guy meekly enters the auditorium. Joe thunders, "Why are you late?," and this guy mumbles something about having seen a three-eyed toad! Ben Hall and I had to hold on to our seats. It was all we could do to keep from rolling on the floor with laughter.

why would Henry care?
he was after the boyz durring my time there
he would invite groups of adolescent males to the hot tubs and sauna place in Brunzwick and would call me to his office to strike up conversations about male anatomy, mine, and other kids...very strange dude...and I was not on acid. I have plenty of other stories. At the time I thought he was interested in my "Growth" ect. A few years later I realized he wanted some 15y/o boy bootie....I escaped un streached...perhaps others did not fare so well

 I did not know I had to be anywhere.   I heard about dinner, but concidering my frame of mind eating was not on the top of my list.  I really loved watching the middle of the carlson bridge go up and down.  I had to watch it a couple for time before I realized it was really happening.  I got board walking around Bath and decided to head back to school. I really did see the toad with all three eyes.  It was after the meeting that I got the lecture from Henry.

We seem to have two groups of posters here.  A couple, (maybe a few) from the 70's and at least several from the 90's and 2000's.  It is ironic that the same kind of stories are coming from both sets of parents/students.  I am getting a real kick of joining all of you down memory lane from the 70's.  I am a parent from the 1990's.  I like hearing your stories.  It seems as though a couple of you can look back, see the horrors involved at Hyde School and yet joke about it.  This is good that you have moved on.  I am not quite there. In my humble opinion it is important to try to help other parents/students not to go down the same path as us and not to have to suffer emotionally the way we have. It is obvious that many of you are still effected to this day by the abuses at Hyde.  As another poster said, although some things have changed, you still have the same people in power who are doing the same hurtful things.

Keep those stories coming Emil and the others.  Maybe you can jog some other people's memories!

OK another one...late 70s early 80s. The school and schools in general are worried about overweight kids. So, body fat measurements are recommended as a way to determine total body fat percent.
A teacher, coach and dad of one of my female classmates. Has all the girls in the school strip for him one at a time for the body fat measurements. We boys were allowed to keep shorts on. The rationale the teacher came up with was the elastic bands of the bras and panties would throw off the test results. The  headmasters daughter at the time (not a gauld), protested and the nude teen show came to a halt. She was a 8th or 9th grader and had some common sence. The brainwashing had not set in on her. The "leadership senior" girls donned their birthday suits with out a second thought.
I think this speaks reams to the hyde process...It taught these girl to do as your told, we know best, don't question the process to the point of stripping butt *ss naked in front of this sadly disturbed man. Now that is character before acheivement!!!!!

I don't know if I can bring my self to post his name. His daughter stayed and finished, or metamorphasized, or emerged from the crystalysis..or what ever they call graduate there now these days. She was a real nice and sincere person, I felt real bad for her she must have been mortified.
The entire matter was handled differently that what a I hear goes on now. He was dismissed and the parents informed and told a plan of action to avoid such situations in the future. My mom actually told me the details. The boys were left out of the process but the girls were told it was a wrong thing to do, ect...like I said the headmaster was not a gauld.

This must have been after Ed left, and before Joe was brought back?  This seems almost normal:

Of course to be truly normal the situation would never have been brought up...
