ETHS reopens for first day of in-person hybrid school
Back but hardly normal.
Anita Bucio.
Anita Bucio looked more like an astronaut or a member of a hazmat crew than the English teacher she really is, as she and 300 other educators at Evanston Township High School geared up with personal protective equipment for the first day of in-person classes in 14 months.
PPE was required for all teachers, staff and students as ETHS began its hybrid learning program today. Slightly less than half of the school’s 3,700 students opted for the hybrid model, with some in-person classes and some classes online. The rest of the students chose to stay fully remote.

This photo is a great slice of Cubs and Wrigley Field history for a number of reasons.
First, Getty’s caption:
Chicago Cubs’ Rick Monday (7) beats Atlanta Braves pitcher’s throw to his first baseman, Hank Aaron on pickoff attempt in first inning of game.
That’s exactly what we are looking at. Let’s figure out when this was taken.
Monday and Aaron overlapped as a Cub and Brave in three seasons: 1972, 1973 and 1974. However, of those three seasons, Aaron played first base in just one of them: 1972.
And, Aaron played first base in just three games at Wrigley Field that year, July 14, July 15 and July 16.
