I graduated from Hayes in 1950. I was entering Stevens Tech that fall, and was notified that Hayes had neglected to teach me Solid Geometry, and that they wanted me to take it in summer school. I found a school in lower Manhattan where it was offered, but in the middle of the day. The only summer job I could find where I could split hours and still attend the course was working for a laundry located on Morris Ave. just south of 170th st. (I lived on Morris between 171st and 172nd). I had to schlepp bags of wet wash to tenants in the area. The owner of the laundry provided me with a wagon, which made the street part of the schlepping tolerable, but none of those buildings had elevators. Oh my aching back. The people who lived in apartments with elevators didn't do the wet wash thing. Occasionally I had a package of shirts to deliver to those elevator buildings which could provide a tip. The wet wash folks seldom tipped. The owner was a prince. He recognized the no tips fact, and paid me pretty well considering the nature of the work. I think he admired the fact that a guy heading for engineering college would be willing to take on that kind of work for a few bucks to take to school. Oh yeah, I passed the solid geometry course, and none of the material ever surfaced during my two calculus courses. My summer jobs while in College were a little more professional. The stuff one remembers!
