All that means is that the human mind and brain can be positively re-programmed. With a computer, press delete, and it’s an instant change. It is not so quickly and easily done with our mind and brain, but it can be done.

Salerno class of 1987

Thu, Sep 14, 2017

This class was known as ‘secondary tops’ and was designed to move the girls into secondary level.
