1. All I'll say is that Reagan was president.
NO I was not part of a clique. I was what the cliques picked on.

173. Join the crowd.
I would be willing to bet that many of us during that time suffered the same exact torture. :hug:

2. '96.
Edited on Fri Mar-23-07 10:52 PM by LaraMN
6-6-96, to be exact!

I crossed clique lines, although I had a circle of friends I was closest to. I was totally a uniter!

I was in the misfits clique; the ones who prided themselves on being different.

165. 1996 here as well.
Did you guys find that the class of 96 was more successful, overall than the surrounding classes?

In my hometown, most of the class of 95 is still hanging around, working in factories and whatnot. Same goes for 97. (I'm not deriding factory work, BTW) My class, on the whole, got the hell out of Dodge and did whatever.

I was a frisbee-chuckin' cheebah-monkey (a.k.a. hippie)

We spent most of our weekends gallivanting all over the countryside to catch Phish and make it back home for classes again on Monday.

Can I have 1998 back again, please?

should have been 77 but I traveled with my family between my soph and junior year - didn't feel like "home" schooling so I just stayed back a year when we got back. I had a few close friends the year behind anyway so no biggie.

I mostly hung with the stoners, but was friends with most everybody, especially after traveling - it will do that to you. More people in this country need to see more of the rest of the world. It would do us ALL good.

132. mr liberty was a band freak too...
it's something we share in common, because I was a chorus geek; we both grew up in families that appreciated and listened to music a lot, we loved our experiences in school and music has always been important to us. We have a wide range of music we listen to regularly, far outside our own generational music. From classical to jazz, big band, and swing, bluegrass, some country music, right on thru rock up to today's music - although I just don't get into rap.

I think being a band freak or a chorus geek was a fun way to get through high school.

169. I will always think of the class of 1978 as my senior class
since they were seniors when I entered high school as a sophomore. I am not sure what you mean by band 'freaks'? The homecoming queen for my class of 1978 was a sax player who made all-state band. Our Cherry Prom queen was a flute player. A couple of flute players from my sophomore class (1982) were in the Miss SD pageant, etc. One of our trumpeters and a drummer were starters in basketball and played football too (and track). Our first chair trumpet was #2 on the tennis team, and alot more cheerleaders and members of the various dance squads used to be in band through Jr. High. For example, our football linebacker, who made all-state, used to be 2nd chair trombone in the 9th grade.

In that sense too, band was too large to be a clique. It was not exclusive, and was likely to have it's own sub-groups and infighting.

29. 1977...
and I was in the "chorus" clique; I'd been a chorus geek since the 8th grade. Even worse (or better, as it may be)in high school I was even more of a chorus geek, because I was in the Madrigals a capella group as well as the choir, and one semester I was the student assistant for my chorus teacher.

Other than that, in high school I didn't belong to any clique, most of my friends were out of school.

I was a jock and hung out with the "popular" crowd (couldn't think of another word for it.).

I liked to party so I was cool with the Stoner crowd.

I did sound for my friends' band so I also hung with the band geeks!

Clique?

Hell No (hung out with most people, I was known as a frock a freak-dope smoker & a jock-sports lover). Loved all kinds of people, not just the obvious.

I was my own person, glad I wasn't in a clique, just gave me more life experience.

Since I have a job where I interface with many people in a day, I have to be able to switch gears with many personalities.

46. 1970.....I was so not a part of
a clique that when I decided to participate in planning the 20 year reunion, no one remembered me. It was pathetic.

I was known for being one of the two math brains at my school, and was especially good at math and the physical sciences (chemistry and physics).

However socially I had a lot of problems. Actually it seemed that I was part of a clique consisting of myself and the other math brain, and sometimes one or a few other people.

It was after I left high school, and actually moving from Illinois to San Diego, CA, that I feel I was able to move beyond the problems I had in high school.

I have been back to a few of my high school reunions, starting with my 20th, and by having been back I have been able to make peace with most of my old painful issues from high school.

52. 2001. I was in a clique full of kids who hated cliques.
Our school had maybe 1200 people, and out of that there were like 10 of us who couldn't stand that the other 1190 were so cliquish, judgmental and close-minded.

Hence, we didn't call it a clique. :-)

I was part of the anti-clique -- one of them artsy types (actually it was more the pro pot clique). I did, however, get along fine with the jocks and the preppies. No animosity at all. Right now, I'm enjoying being a key member of our 30th class reunion steering committee.

There weren't really any cliques at my school. It was a small private French school (Lycée Français) that I attended from grades one through to twelve. There were only 35 people in my graduating class, so I guess all of us kind of constituted one big clique.

75. 1988. The only clique I was in was the small group of people
who were not in one of the cliques. I had friends in the various ones, but... meh. We were the "smart" kids who also drank and partied. A lot.

It's funny too, but a couple of the actually smart kids who did not party or even hang out with us would eat lunch with us everyday. I think it was for protection: sure, we would once in a blue moon play a prank or tease, but never maliciously, and more importantly the football players didn't bother us, so they were safe by proxy.

It's such a strange little world, and one I don't miss in the least. I have grown leaps and bounds since then, and prefer to live in the now when possible.

Speaking of now, I need to get off the computer now and get some stuff done. :(

I wasn't involved in any clique but I had friends in and was pretty much accepted by all assorted cliques. I was a long haired middle class kid into punk rock and hardcore in a largely preppy private school inhabited largely by extremely wealthy kids. I was in honors classes but was not super motivated classroom wise. I was into stoner like music and hobbies but didn't do drugs or drink. I was involved in music and theater but was not a band or theater geek (so to speak. But I had friends in all of these assorted circles.

the Indians, the cowboys, the jocks.... I pretty much hung out with all different cliques. Small school and I was somebody who got along with everyone. One day I might be hanging out with the popular jockish crowd and the then next night I might hit a party with the more white trash type clique. I just dig good people. I was an athlete, but I pursued other interests too, like choir etc. Just seemed to be one of those guys who fit in about anywhere.

I got caught up in the purge, they threw the whole lot of us out the same day, somewhere around 100 kids suspended for the year. We used school as a social club, where we met up with friends, hung out in the park, got high, and never went to class.
My parents moved us into the country after that where there weren't any drugs, cough cough. I became the connection, I got my g.e.d. in 76.

133. 1974 and was not a part of any clique, so I was in the majority
I almost dropped out of school the year before I graduated because it was so boring I thought I was going to die from all the boredom. A lot of the kids I graduated with thought I had already dropped out because as a senior I only went to classes. I didn't participate in any school activities, clubs, or sports at all.

I was too cool for school.

I had taken a full load of courses the first few years of high school, so I only had to get 7 more credits to graduate.
So, the year I was a senior, I only took 4 classes in the fall and 3 in the spring, 1 credit/class.
Talk about having it made in the shade, man.
Those were the days.

I got up at 5:00 in the morning to deliver my newspapers on my paper route every single day of the week.
Then, I went to school at 8:15 and only had to go until noon!!

Noon, man, and my day was over!

But, because I am an A-type personality, I got an after-school job and went to work at a restaurant as a bus boy after I got out of class.
Sometimes I pulled an 8 hour shift, sometimes I worked until midnight.
I even worked on Saturdays and Sundays, I didn't care.
I put in 40 hours a week at that job, on top of my paper route, and still maintained a 3.5 GPA.

If they would have had personal computers back then, I would have dropped out of high school for sure.

And I guess it depends on what you mean by clique. I had a few friends and hung out with them, but there wasn't any teen movie stuff going on.

No - no clique. At my Catholic school, there were no real cliques except for popular and less popular. I was never one of the big popular ones, but a couple of my friends were.

No, I wasn't in any clique then, nor am I now. I've gone to reunions with people saying I hadn't changed much at all. Once the oddball, always the oddball.

172. I graduated in 1988.
I did not fit in anywhere at all. There were other loners who talked to me on occasion, but we never formed any kind of clique. I felt like a total reject in high school. I hated it.

I was a social butterfly for the most part at my first high school.

We moved halfway through my junior year, so at my new school I was trying to get to know people in general, so no real clique.

...I was a Preppy (Actually owned a copy of "The Official Preppy Handbook") jock who went to a mostly black school in the west end of Louisville. I was bussed as part of desegregation, it was quite difficult at times, and if I could go back and change anything I absolutely would not.

I don't care if someone knows how old I am, especially after I pretty much posted it in the past.

Clique? If you talk about regular cliques, like cheerleaders, popular girls, etc., I'd say no. I went to an all-girls high school, and there were some things we didn't have available to us. There was a pep squad at one point to cheer on the male counterpart of our school, but that was only in our junior and senior years.

I DID on the other hand, belong to some clubs, and even ran one of them as well. I worked on the school magazine, I ran the Fantasy and Science Fiction group, and I hung out with people who were just as geeky/science fiction oriented as myself. This was before computers, but many people I knew went on to college to get a BS in computer engineering and programming--I went on to go for a BA in Mass Communications/English, but never finished college.
