Where did Rodney Dangerfield go to high school and what year did he graduate?

Rodney Dangerfield had a very painful up-bringing and just as difficult a time at high school so there is little info, but managed to come up with the High school and where he and his first wife lived (unfortunately, no home address.) PARENTS: His father, a vaudeville comic who stage name was Phil Roy, abandoned the family when Rodney was a child. He and his sister were brought up by their mother, who moved them to a neighborhood in Queens that was, he recalled, "too rich for us." ***KNOWN THEN AS KEW GARDENS AND THE APARTMENT THEY LIVED IN IS TODAY'S AUSTIN ALE HOUSE ON AUSTIN STREET.) He had to deliver groceries to the homes of the kids he went to school with and had to go to the back door of each hour to make those deliveries and he was deeply hurt by this. Rodney's self-esteem was at a low between living poor and remembered teachers making anti-Semitic remarks to him (he was Jewish) to him in front of the class. At age 15 he began writing jokes to bring a little happiness into his life because it was tough to face the reality he was living in. He married Joyce Indig (first wife) and left comedy at the age of 28. They lived in the suburbs of Englewood, N.J., and he worked in aluminum siding. Rodney was extremely unhappy because he dreamed of a come-back and wanted to be back in the bright lights again. His wife wanted a normal life and enjoyed living in the suburbs with her husband, their 2 children and this was the cause for the divorce. Through-out Rodney's life he was depressed from the struggles in his past life. He often suffered from depression (smoked Marijuana to relax until his death) and his jokes about his childhood and earlier days were to cover-up the pain he really did feel. He was kind and generous man and helped comics such as Roseanne Barr, Jim Carrie to name a few. HIGH SCHOOL: P.S. 99 Richmond Hill High School 1938 Began appearing in amateur nights by age 17 1940 Worked as a singing waiter and comic in Brooklyn by age 19 1941 - 1951 Performed stand-up in nightclubs under pseudonym Jack Roy Hope this helps Bill. Rodney Dangerfield (real name: Jacob Cohen and at 19 changed it to Jack Roy) born: Nov. 22, 1921 in Babylon, NY. Died: Oct. 6, 2004 (heart failure) Best known for his favorite quote: "I don't get no respect." When he started out as a comedian he was terrible and it and he moved on. He later realized he lacked "an image" that audiences could relate too and changed his name to Rodney Dangerfield. He suffered from bouts of depression. His career peeked in the 80s re the movie "Caddyshack", "Easy Money" and "Back to School" and the release of his album "No Respect" aka "Rappin' Rodney." Rodney Dangerfield smoked Marijuana for 60 years of his life and his autobiography "It's Not Easy Bein' Me: A Lifetime of No Respect but Plenty of Sex and Drugs (the books original title was "My Love Affair With Marijuana". He was married twice to Joyce Indig from 1949 - 1962, then 1963 - 1970 and had a son named Brian and a daughter Melanie. From 1993 to his death he was married to Joan Child. Unfortunately there is little information on Rodney Dangerfield and it was his wife Joan Child that got his name on the Internet. I could find no mention of his education.

I have a friend that told me that you have to know how to tumble to make the High School Cheerleading squad is that true I can't do back handsprings but I can do a back walkover?

Typically, tumbling is preferred in high school cheerleading. However, a back walkover is more than many people can do and will likely increase your chances of making the squad. High School squads will often train their cheerleaders during practice to do the other stunts required if you initially make the team.
