Our new modern high school which had been built in 1972 had drop ceilings throughout and we discovered that there was about three feet of space between floors. If you climbed up on the sinks in the washroom and were strong enough, you could pull yourself up into the ceiling and could roam at will throughout the entire floor. This created an interesting situation when it came to smoking weed in the winter. We could now smoke inside the school and no longer had to freeze our butts off outside to get high.
Once we were up in the ceiling it wasn’t long before the temptation to get into mischief when we were stoned became too great. Being stoners, one of our favorite lunch foods were the burritos sold in the cafeteria. We eventually found our way over to the cafeteria kitchen area and we were able to get our burritos for free. If we were really daring, we would drop down into the kitchen and get some chocolate milk to go with them. So now we could go up into the ceiling instead of freezing outside and get stoned. Once we were stoned, we could crawl over to the cafeteria and get some free burritos and, if we were lucky, some chocolate milk. Life at school was finally getting good.
Unfortunately, some people started peeking down into the girl’s washroom from the ceiling and they eventually got caught. The school made it so that the ceiling tiles in the washrooms were no longer removable, so as usual a few bad apples ruined it for the rest of us. We could still go up there once in a while from the hallway but that was risky because a teacher could show up at any time. Besides, since they now knew about it they would check up there occasionally so it was risky business to go up there anyway. They never did figure out that we were also stealing burritos and chocolate milk to cure our munchies and cotton mouth when we were up there.
