What was your graduating class from High School?

[thom1102]

If someone else graduated the same year as you, reply to their post so for instance, if someone says "82", and you graduated in '82, then reply to that post.

[thom1102]

1. I'll start off: Class of '87

[Melsky]

24. Me too

If I stuck around long enough to graduate. I took the GED and moved to San Francisco. Which I have forever been happy about. High School sucks!

[no name no slogan]

27. me three ('87)

in a class w/ 699 others. I walked thru commencement next to a guy I'd never seen in school before. Wild and wacky stuff, that.

[BigMcLargehuge]

45. Me 4 1987

GNBRVTHS (Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School), in 1987 the second best Voke HS in the country, and ranked within the top 10 in the world. We had Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and German administrators tour our school and use it as a blueprint for their own Voke programs.

[FlashHarry]

73. Me five

:evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

3. We want sex and even more, we're the class of '84

:bounce:

[PAMod]

[Gore1FL]

196. My idea for a class motto was rejected despite being accurate

Class of 1984 -- We did what we had to and nothing more.

We were so lazy our Valadictorian had an A- average!

[LanternWaste]

267. "We're damn cool and party more! We're the Seniors '84!"

"We're damn cool and party more!
We're the Seniors '84!"

It's weird that I can still recall our school alma-mater almost
20(!) years later.

[ronzo]

277. The class of 1984

Good times.

[BritishHuman]

278. I'm not 100% certain, but I think I'm '84.

That was when I was 16, right? In the UK we then optionally go to Sixth Form for two years before University at 18.

I swear, SOteric has explained the American System to me two or three times - I just can't hold it in my head.

Anyway, I'm going to stick with the '84s even if I should be over in the '86s because you guys are more fun.

[mbartko]

Our Fight Song
(To the tune of the Notre Dame Fight Song)

"Cheer, cheer for Morristown High.
You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the rye.
Send the freshmen out for gin
And don't let a sober sophomore in

Da-da-da-

We never stumble, we never fall,
We sober up on wood alcohol.
When we yell we yell like hell
For the glory of Morristown High."

[CO Liberal]

Tokin' crew of '82

[Ilsa]

Won't say anymore. There were less than 50 of us.

[Cheswick2.0]

13. 1976 also

there were 78 of us and 76 graduated. We think it was an administration plot.

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

44. A third for 1976, Baltimore MD

We had these red & white tassels to go with the blue graduation gowns.

Class song was some long forgotten 70's POS.

[Bunny]

48. make it 4 for '76

ebensburg, pa

[Corgigal]

60. Another 76'er

Ossining (Westchester) New York. About 20/25 miles from NYC.

[Cheswick2.0]

and lots of bicentennial hoopla, as i recall.

[Cheswick2.0]

158. we had red white and blue grad invitations

Our year book has a minute man on it. It seems like such a long time ago.

[jenm]

163. We had that "Spirit of 76" thing going on!!

among other things... :smoke:

[noiretextatique]

247. that's because it WAS such a long time ago

:hi: 27 years ago :scared:

[Cheswick2.0]

281. I have an idea for our 30th reunion

lets go to each others as entourage. Or we could just have a DU reunion and skip the whole thing.

I went to my 20th, it was fun. But I am not sure about the 30th. Most of those people have really kept in touch and I have not.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

289. That's a great idea!

I don't really care for most of the folks I went to high school with. I hung out with the band/orchestra/choral/drama kids; and few of them show up at the reunions.

It'd be much more fun to party with people like you! :beer:

[GregW]

203. Another '76er - Brisbane, Australia

Funny how we share the same anniversary as the kids in the movie, "Dazed and Confused".

Reunions come and go, and I have yet to rationalize actually going to one...

[lazarus]

303. not too many of us for some reason

But yeah, '83. As far as I know, we didn't even bother having a reunion this year. Had one in '93, it was decent. Made me realise there's maybe three people out of the 40 I graduated with that I'd ever care to see again.

[Section_43]

304. 1983.....uuuuugggghhh

[eyesroll]

[ieoeja]

115. Yeah, we were boring

Like all kids my classmates liked to think we were a wild bunch. But I used to claim our class was quite boring and clearly heading up a backlash to the 60s and 70s. Didn't realize how correct I would prove to be.

Well, at our age we don't really remember... what was the question?

inner city high scool and that year we had demonstrations against the war - demonstrations by the Black Panthers to form a Black Student Union- a few lock-downs when the teachers were assaulted by students and plumbing was ripped out of the walls-
pot passed into classrooms through open windows - pot smoked on the campus - administrators looking the other way
It was a mess - but everyone cared about important things!

Thanks for the opportunity to walk down memory lane

In retrospect, perhaps not the best choice....

Of courage and sportsmanship

Our standards we'll glorify
victory is our cry.
We're proud of our
LEVELLAND HIGH."

[leftofthedial]

302. 1973

Never even been to the east coast.

I graduated class of 74 from a hodunk little high school in a samll town in Nebraska called Papillion. I lived in La Vista, Nebraska at the time.

And no, I never lived on a farm or "did it" in a corn field. :D

[LosinIt]

197. Whoops, got you confused with someone else

[Rhiannon12866]

255. Northfield Seminary was founded in 1879

and Mount Hermon was founded in 1881. I always remembered that the girls' school was founded first. I may have been ahead of you, but the first graduating class was just a little ahead of me...:D

[TheYellowDog]

[goobergunch]

131. No

and I'm NOT happy about it. :grr: :grr:

[TheYellowDog]

160. Oh well,

that's the constitution. At least you get to vote in 06.

[JohnKleeb]

151. nope

[BurtWorm]

72. 1977

[nuxvomica]

153. 1977, as well

By the time of my 20th reunion, no member of my graduating class had died.


edit: No, this is when I gradiated college. It's amazing that I did, isn't it?

[LWolf]

168. 1977

I have no idea what they might have done or not done. I don't remember any of their names. Most of my friends graduated in '76, and I was working and getting ready for life my senior year; I showed up for classes, went to work, and picked my diploma (with honors) up from the office a few weeks after the last day of school. Never bothered with the graduation ceremony.

I do know that Mare Winningham was at my high school at the same time; I think she was a class or two ahead of me.

[Slippery_Hammer]

173. Greetings fellow Chancellor

Mare Winningham was in the class of 77' with you as were Kevin Fowler aka. Kevin Spacey and Val Kilmer. I didn't know that until about a year ago. I still have the 77'yearbook. Winningham's and Spacey's senior pictures are in it but not Kilmer's.

[LWolf]

264. Wow!

I only knew about Winningham because she played guitar and sang at an assembly. My yearbooks were lost somewhere along the way. An impressive year! I should have been '78; I made it into '77 when I skipped first grade. I'd been 17 for 2 months when I graduated.

:hi:

[haele]

273. 1977 here...

And funny thing, I am now living in San Diego after graduating in Seattle, and one of the boys I used to have a crush on is also here, playing with the San Diego symphony (which I figured he would, he was a gifted trumpet player).

Small world.

[Bridget Burke]

80. 1966!

"Try to Remember" was voted Class Song.

I was one of the ones who voted for "Eve of Destruction"....

[VOX]

99. Hey Bridget -- got my kicks in '66 too!

Used to get hassled by the Boy's Vice Principal for having long hair, which couldn't be over the ears or shirt collar.

But good times, and best music!

[Bridget Burke]

146. Coach Roach was Dean of Boys

At the assembly where graduation robes were distributed, he told 2 guys they had to get haircuts before they could get their robes.

Their hair would have passed muster in the straightest corporate setting today. But, buzzcut Aggie that he was, he probaby suspected that things were about to get out of control.

He was right.

[Hand]

100. 1966 Too!

Man--interesting times. I damn near got lynched for refusing to endorse a resolution supporting the war in Nam. They swore I'd come to a bad end... well, I'm working on it.
}(

[RedEarth]

117. 66 here too...

Very intertesting times....wonderful music, JFK, King, Robert Kennedy, Viet Nam, Kent State, Watergate, space race, etc...

[Tikki]

145. Mr. Tikki...Class of '66'...

..Class Song...The Animals "We Got To Get Out Of This Place".

[marigold20]

252. Yea 1966

We were a class of baby boomers - my hs class was so big that I don't recognize most of the yearbook photos. We had 850 graduates. When the bell rang for class change, the mass of students would just grind to a halt in the halls as there was just no room to move. Do you remember having your sweater snagged on spiral notebooks? The awful red thin cotton knit swimsuits for boys and girls. Believe me, nothing was left to the imagination!

[Nikia]

86. 1996

That was actually a long time ago. May of those people, I never saw again. Maybe, I'll attend my 10 year reunion.

[nyrnyr1994]

241. 1996 here too!

Almost made an original post, just missed it.

Speaking of reunions, I have to plan our 10-yr. (was a class pres.).

[TheYellowDog]

128. CLASS OF 2002!

yep.

[laconicsax]

195. 2002

Each graduating class leaves a mural somewhere in the school. Since we got stuck with the year of nationalism/patriotism/jingoism on steroids, our mural was decided on by the school admin--picture of the WTC towers against an American flag background with "United we Stand 2002" emblazoned across the front.

[_NorCal_D_]

212. CLASS OF 2002!

Oh yeah! :bounce:

[SiobhanClancy]

89. 1970

I can't think of any rhyme for it,but the pot was great back then,too.

[Palacsinta]

143. Class of '70

and if we couldn't get pot (we called it "grass" where I'm from), we'd drink Romilar cough syrup, God help me. Haven't coughed since.

[dmr]

186. Class of '70

In my senior year, we were finally allowed in wear slacks (not jeans) to school and leave school at lunch time. Our class trip was to Italy. It cost $419. for a 10-day round trip, which included air fare, hotels, meals, tours, tips, and ground transportation. Our flight to Rome was delayed because of the airline strike, so the airport gave us rooms at the airport hotel - I guess they didn't want more than 90 teenagers tearing loose in the airport. I doubt they'd do that today, but this was back before deregulation. I had the time of my life on that trip, oh, man, did I ever have fun. Memories are good for the soul. But I can't think of those days without thinking about Viet Nam; I can't seperate the two because that summer, two of my friends died in Nam. <sigh>


Edit - spelling

[Palacsinta]

202. Yeah....Vietnam

It certainly hung over all of our heads.....I knew some kids that flunked senior year on purpose to avoid the draft and graduated at age 19 or 20. My boyfriend had a college deferrment until the lottery was instituted....he had a low draft number but then was deferred because of asthma. One of my classmates died in 'Nam........RIP, Dennis Baker, Lance Cpl, Marine Corps.

Anway.......wow.......a trip to Italy!!!! Our senior trip was a day trip to NYC........where alot of the kids who were 18 bought booze for the younger ones........many suspensions after that trip! (Not me, though......the hippie contingent was way too cool to go!)

[peterh]

What a year. At least I got out of high school, which I hated, and got into college, which I loved. And I avaided military service.

[LuLu550]

114. staying alive

was a big thing for guys who graduated in 1968!

[PinkTiger]

176. 68! We were Great!!!

I wasn't a guy (and am still not) but I remember watching my brothers and my male friends go off to "war." Also saw a lot of friends decompose before my eyes with drugs, sex and rock and roll. I served during the Vietnam war in the Army, thinking I could somehow make a difference. What a joke. The only thing they would let me do is type.

[LuLu550]

229. wow!

You were brave....everyone I knew tried NOT to go...
well, that's not true...my brother volunteered to help evacuate guys off the batttlefields during the second tet offensive and a guy I graduated joined the marines and came back in a wheelchair...
but hey, a female volunteering to serve back then was something else...
hat's off to you, Pink Tiger!

235. 85 as well

Our *class song* was "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds, chosen in a nail-biter over USA for Africa's "We Are The World", which is fortunate as the latter would have caused me to :puke:.

[Iris]

246. hee! hee! We had an aging hippy as our class advisor -

he conviced us to collect 100s of t-shirts (Remember how they were sending them over to Africa?) and string them up during the end of the senior program while "We are the world" played. We had people dressed up like Cyndi Lauper and all the others.

But our class song was "I Miss You" by Climax (I think!) - none of the 50% of the white students had heard it but when the 50% of the black students played it for us, we were hooked!


God we were innocent.

[Tikki]

147. Out of the Class of "67"..into 'The Summer of Love"..

[shugah]

175. we don't need no education

1980 was the coolest ever year to graduate! we could vote (against reagan), we had pink floyd as our class song (even if we couldn't actually play it on class night ;-) ), there was al franken, being AL FRANKEN, and the rest of the 80's was yet to hit.

ah well, i've learned to shrug about my idealism from back then. but i do remember loving my first ever time to vote!

[LadyChaos1138]

178. GED

And for those of us who didn't graduate but have an equivelancy diploma. We can post here. Just because I didn't graduate doesn't mean I'm an idiot.
