Wait-- a private fundamentalist school near San Francisco? That's an incongruous setting!
My first guess was Baptist, but the website didn't hint at that. Baptists are one of the few groups that prohibit dancing...
It's funny-- my High School was grades 10-12, and about the same size as sarcasmoqueen's, but it was a public school in Eugene. My husband's Bay-Area High School graduating class was bigger than my entire school.
But 75 kids for the entire high school? That is tiny. I love how much repetition there was in the names (not surprising), and that you know the wherabouts of almost all of them. You seem to have branched out a little in your beliefs, but it sounds as if you're still friends with most of those guys. That would be the nice part of such a small class.
Now I'm boggling over the concept of "Athletic competitions" and whether that's even a worthwhile idea, given the school's size. Though there was a great Sports Illustrated article a couple of years back about a girl in Texas who won the state track meet in her school's division... by herself. \o/
But if they were going to turn me down, I wanted them to see what they missed out on. Rented the perfect tux, drove my Dad's car, arrived in style... You get points for trying, as well as the attempts to come up with a date using something akin to actual charm! :)
The key to athletic competitions was picking on someone our own size. (And you'd be surprised how many there were; the Bay Area is pretty religiously and demographically diverse.)
Charm and chivalry never go out of style. (Or at least they'd better not--it's my only chance.) :) Thanks for reading, as always.
