Vitamin C's 'Graduation Song' is stuck in my head now...
1. Did you date someone from your school?
Yeah - Kayla. She passed away this Christmas. Going home for her funeral brought back a lot of high school memories for the first time since graduation.
2. Did you win anything in Seniors Who's Who?
Most Likely to be Rich
3. What kind of car did you drive?
89 Ford Tempo; 97 Mercury Tracer
4. It's Friday night...where are you?
D&D at my home, Hubb's, Monkey's, or the Paden City Fire Hall.
5. Were you a party animal?
Not the drinking kind, but I was out or had folks at the house most weekends.
6. Were you considered a flirt?
Kinda
7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
Band and Musicals; no orchestra or choir offered at the school.
8. Were you a nerd?
Guilty by reason of the answers to most of these questions. :)
9. Did you get suspended/expelled?
Nope
10. Can you sing the fight song?
I didn't get around to learning the fight song words; too busy playing it on the sax. I still remember most of the Alma Mater, though.
11. Who were your favorite teachers?
Tech/Shop Teachers (Ballard/Kimble), Math (Ross/Hinerman), Psych/Social Studies/Law (Jackson/Workman).
12. Where did you sit during lunch?
Freshman year - on the upper balcony.
Soph - Senior years - in a computer lab, doing serious network testing (ie Descent II, Shadow Warrior, & Half-Life)
13. What was your school's full name?
Magnolia High School
14. School mascot?
Blue Eagles
15. Homecoming court?
Our class pulled a coup to oust all the popular girls and instead put in one of the least popular girls of the class + her date. I couldn't have been more proud, even if the act was done more as malice to the popular girls.
16. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
Yeah I would, especially if I could take back some of the experiences I picked up post-high school.
17. What do you remember most about graduation?
Baccalaureate, talking with my graduate-seat neighbors whom I usually avoided, saying goodbye to almost everyone, being touched that we happened to graduate on my Mother's birthday (5/23).
18. Where did you go senior skip day?
Straight to the computer lab for an all-day gaming session (they let us stay way after school ended, too).
19. Have you gained some weight since then?
Yeah
20. Who was your Senior prom date?
Rupa Natarajan; formerly of New Martinsville School, but who transferred to a private school. Though I sucked as a date (didn't dance...still don't dance too much), it was great to watch her get caught up with old friends, and to get caught up with her myself. She was one of those people I enjoyed as a friend b/c of how viciously we fought.
21. Are you planning on going to your 10-year reunion?
Assuming we have one, yes.
22. Who was your home room teacher?
Mr. Wolfe
25. Do you still talk to people from school?
A couple folks; every once in a while I run into someone when I'm visiting mom/dad.
26. What year did you graduate?
2000
