Post your high school memories here!

[Texasgal]

Just for the record... I was a bully who started the biggest and baddest clique in school!!!

How 'bout you? :eyes:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

1. I was President of my Senior Class and 3-letter athlete

:eyes:

And homecoming queen. Wait! that was arwalden. :evilgrin:

[Texasgal]

2. Like....COOL!!!

I'll bet you were REALLY popular!!!

Did you bully people too??? :eyes:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

5. Yes, I used to scratch their eyes out!

:eyes:

[Texasgal]

9. I can see why....

your sooooo mean....and hostile! :sarcasm:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

16. That's me. I'm so nasty.

I am in GD but not in the Lounge!

[arwalden]

42. Oh You!

:spray:

[TheHelplessLlama]

3. Still in it...

Starting my senior year in september! Woohoo! Seniors '06!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. Wow-you're a baby!

:-)

Welcome to DU!

[Mutley]

43. Welcome to DU TheHelplessLlama!

[HawkerHurricane]

4. Letterman, 3 years running.

I was a swimmer, so I wasn't a real jock, but was jock enough so I didn't get picked on.

[Bouncy Ball]

7. I started the Passive-Aggressive Clique.

We took anyone who was good at really awesome passive-aggressive behavior.

Had a few teachers in it, too! LOL!

[Texasgal]

8. Love the passive

aggresive folks.... :P

[Kathy in Cambridge]

11. My favorite were the judgemental ones

[Fenris]

10. I was in the übercool art punk group.

We would do things to confuse all of the jocks and hicks that went to our school. Like wearing suits to school and parading.

[JimmyJazz]

37. Don't tell flaming youth, but:

:loveya:

:D

[TimeChaser]

12. I just graduated this year

My friends and I would occasionally come to school in costume and just confuse everyone.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. Congrats!

Are you in college now?

[TimeChaser]

14. Not yet

I will be at the end of the month, though :)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

26. Cool! Are you going away or near home?

[TimeChaser]

36. About three hours away from home

And my grandma's only two hours away

[JohnKleeb]

15. I got too many but

I have to say during that fire a few weeks before I graduated and playing football on the football field was pretty much. Sigh, HS was really cool, I am gonna miss everyone a lot.

[Kathleen04]

17. Me and my friend would write

funny stories during class, which were both political satire and simultaneously making our other friend the butt of all the jokes (she didn't mind, really..) and then we made some interesting photoshop creations to go along with them. Time well-spent in class, I graduated in '04. :)

[progmom]

18. since everyone but me seems to be taking this seriously....

i was a band/chorus geek and a jock and a brain.

[Jara sang]

19. I stole a station wagon and drove it to Mexico

when I got back they threw me in JUVie.

[MissB]

20. Aha.

I knew I had you pegged correctly. :P

:rofl:

[Jara sang]

25. Not really, but that did happen to my bad-boy alter ego.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

34. You sound like a guy I would have dated in HS

:-)

[XemaSab]

45. Sounds like a guy

I DID date in HS...

[graywarrior]

21. A total 60's freak.

Stoner. Loner. Floated thru high school waiting to go to art school where I finally met my homies. Was a stoner there too.

[no_hypocrisy]

22. I didn't "fit in" and didn't want to. Conformity was equivalent to death.

I still feel the same way.

[UrbScotty]

23. I was in the We the People program and band

The We the People program is a program in which teams of about 20-25 people compete by demonstrating their knowledge of the Constitution, including how it came to be written, and its application today. (For you lurking freepers, the Constitution is a piece of paper that says the President is NOT God.) We didn't win, but we did well.

I played trumpet for my first couple years, then switched to euphonium. Our band program was great: we did well at concerts, festivals, competitions, and the like. We even went to Disney World and performed at Magic Kingdom. One time, though, marching band rehearsal ended early because a quarter of the band didn't have their drill books.

[VelmaD]

24. I prefer not to think about it...

if I can possibly avoid it.

[JimmyJazz]

27. I was only in high school part time. Most of the day, I was in the gym

training as a gymnast. I went to school in the mornings only. My only friends were also my competitors.

I had a coach who would get an inch from my face and scream at me, "you are fat, lazy and uncoachable" in an effort to make me do things that even a stuntman would balk at.

At 4'11" and 97 pounds, I didn't get asked out on dates, except for by 12 year olds, but since I was sixteen, I thought that might be a bit much.

Yeah. That was me. Miss Popular. :eyes:

[grannylib]

28. i was the uninvited to prom/homecoming/spring dance geek

goddessoftheuniverse
so i went totally the other direction and became thriftstore chic and nonconformityqueen way before it was cool because no matter what i did i never fit in with those people at all so i quit trying and i sure am glad i did because they are still the people that scare me and are probably all rethuglicans now so i am doubly glad to know i did not fit in there at all :hippie:

[Dukkha]

29. Crap! All Crap!

The only way I'd go to a reunion is with an AK-47

[MissB]

30. I had fun

My parents moved out of the state at the end of my third year, so I spent my last year sans parental supervision. The only bummer of my senior year is that I missed so many mornings that I could not attend senior skip day.

I was friends with everyone. I'm just that way. If people got pissy, then I'd back away. I still do.

[johnnie]

31. I understand this thread but

I was friends with all groups, I didn't get into fights, I hung out in the smoking lounge and played guitar. I got into a lot of different trouble, but the teachers liked me. I would hang out with them in their lounge. I was a rocker who dated a football cheerleader so I hung out with the "heads" and the jocks.
It was a good time, just like all my times before and after. I made the best of it all, and still try to.

[Aristus]

32. I was the "nice guy" that all the girls liked, but didn't want to

go out with. You know, I'd get a smile and a "you're so sweet" from a girl, and that would be IT.

I was in Drama and Symphonic Band. That's all the explanation anyone needs. ;-)

I'm much cooler now! B-)

[fudge stripe cookays]

33. Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

Thank GOD it's over.

Do I sound bitter?
FSC

[Reverend_Smitty]

35. My friends and I stole another friend's car

and parked it on the football field...looking back on it, it was a stroke of genus on planning and execution of the prank.

[Dastard Stepchild]

38. Limited memories....I was never there...

I was quite the juvenile delinquent.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

39. Actually, I was a brain and a punk rocker

most people liked me though. Can't imagine why. :shrug:

[dajoki]

40. three sport letterman...

one memory is a school bus, me and a cheerleader. 'nuff said.:smoke:

[Pryderi]

41. X-Country, Swimming, Track, Chess Team, Drama Club, Latin Club, Honor Roll

...and was an outcast.

[Bridget Burke]

44. Sunnydale High was not the only school located over a Hell Mouth.

I'm spending my summer spare time remedying a shameful cultural deficiency. Thanks to Netflix, I'll be seeing all episodes of Buffy, Vampire Slayer.

[Mutley]

46. I was a brain. And a chorus/drama/creative writing club geek.

[skygazer]

47. I staged a mass walkout in my junior year

It's the accomplishment I'm most proud of from those years. A favorite teacher had been fired for bogus reasons and I and a couple of friends organized a walkout as a protest. We got over 200 kids to leave the building and protest on the lawn - when the administration threatened to call the cops, we marched back in and took over the cafateria where I called the local radio stations and the newspaper who sent out reporters to cover it.

We didn't succeed in re-instating the teacher but we did have several other grievances addressed and it was just a pretty cool thing - gave us an idea of the power of an organized group. Made the front page of the paper, too.

Twenty years later, my daughter did a similar thing at her school - I forget the reason but I was quite proud of her. She made the front page of the same paper.

[Rising Phoenix]

48. I was a grunge chick

flannel and Doc's all the way, smoked whatever I could get my hands on

[XemaSab]

49. I was a loser dork

all my friends were juvenile delinquent dorks and dropped out before graduating.

You couldn't pay me enough to be that age again.

On edit: I just looked at classmates to see if we were having a 10 year reunion.... the only person posting in favor of one was the biggest she-bully in the class.

Uh.... no thanks.

[trackfan]

50. I was in the Liberal Democratic Gun Freaks Club

The L.D.G.F.C.

[formerrepuke]

51. I used my telekinetic powers to kill everyone at the prom.. ahh, memories

[patcox2]

52. Dazed and Confused, that was me.

I was in central Florida, not Texas, but that movie captures my high school experience so perfectly its uncanny.

I was the quiet, slightly nerdy blond guy with the big curly hair and glasses. That would be me, yup.

[Rising Phoenix]

54. I saw that movie

every Wed, for a buck in some cheapo theatre, god we were always so baked, knew it by heart, probably still do.

[Shell Beau]

53. That is where I met my hubby!!

We started dating when I was 15. I remember high school as being such a blast. It was one of the best times of my life. I was a cheerleader. Everyone in my class was really close (we only had 40 people in it). I loved high school.

[loudestchick]

55. I was the smart girl that the smart kids didn't get. I was in theatre,

forensics and debate. I started a HUGE ordeal in my debate class when I argued that an oath to tell the truth taken on the bible is non-binding...due to the lack of a supreme being. This was in Missouri.

I also had a college boyfriend and young pups on the side. I was a naughty girl.:evilgrin:

[Lady Effingbroke]

56. ...

:toast:

:beer:

:smoke:

:puke:

:hangover:

:dunce:

[Old_Fart]

57. We ganged up on people that we didn't like

We made them our "friends" and some of those "friends" have remained "friends" for life. At the end of the four years we had enough "friends" that helped us get our political views out. Back in the 60's we needed as many "friends" as we could get for our protests.

"You catch more flies with honey then you do with vinegar"

[Bunny]

58. I was the class Vice-President for three years, then was elevated

to President senior year because the "real" president graduated early! I graduated in the top fifth of my class. I lettered in volleyball and softball three years each. I was voted Class Favorite for Humor senior year. I lost my <ahem> during senior year, to the best looking guy in the school!

People liked me then, I think. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! :rofl:

[KG]

59. it sucked.

[ladeuxiemevoiture]

60. Junior year was one of the best of my life; senior just the opposite.

How does that happen?

[6000eliot]

61. Hated it.

Stopped going.
