    I see it spelled so many different ways ...

    thanks,

    I've been around the hobby since the late '50s, and never have never seen it spelled any way except highboy, until recent times.

    Today it is popular to use odd spellings like "old skool". Maybe it's because the younger generation is into text messages, or maybe it's because they quit school (skool), and just can't spell. Who knows. :-)
