Wondering off-topic somewhat....
    I was checking out of one of the three supermarkets in town
(United, Main Street) when I struck up a conversation with the young
person on the cash register. These folks are often from one of the two
local high schools.
  I was not surprised: pleasant customer relations is a prized feature
of that store's corporate culture, it seems.

 She mentioned when I asked, that she was no longer at high school, but
as valedictorian she had received a scholarship clear through college
at Stillwater (upstate). I had no idea the rewards were so appreciable!
  She was doing biology, with the intention of going on to medical
school, and was home for Christmas.
   She had been a cheerleader in highschool, it transpired.
One can only marvel.
