My mom graduated from Senn in the early sixties. I went to one of the open houses a few years ago and called her while there to ask if she remembered where her locker and homeroom were. I had given her a starting point, and after forty years, she was still able to talk me through the building.

Amazing! I have Anita O'Day songs on my iPod & never knew she went to Senn. My older sis graduated from Senn in 88. I remember picking her up from school with my mom & wondering what high school was like. I soon found out when I started at Lane Tech in 89. Senn had a nice roster of well known alums.
