Before there was Google...there was Googol

Sixth grade, Hockaday math class with Mrs. Roe: we had a Googol Party. For those who don't know, a googol is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, and we all had to make and decorate zeros to go around the room, as I recall. Everytime I hear "Google," I think "googol." Just thought I would share.

Also, that math class was a sugar high - our teacher was obsessed with "sticky, yucky cherries" - gummy cherries - and I think that was the food on hand at the Googol Party. Ah, to be 12 again. Actually, I'd rather not.
