How many students in your graduating class? 300ish
What activities/sports were you involved in? National Honor Society, Cheer, and Interact (it's a branch of the Rotary Club that focuses on volunteerism)
How did you typically spend your lunch period? Eating. I brought my lunch and we weren't allowed to leave campus.
What did you usually do on the weekends? Honestly? I moved mid-way through my high school years and was pretty lame. Thank God I had a twin, we would go shopping or to the movies. Sometimes I had a date! Exciting stuff.
Did you have a curfew? Nope, but my parents fully understood how much of a goody-two-shoes my sister and I were and trusted us. If we upheld their trust, they would let us do what we wanted. We were usually home by 10:30.
Did you win any senior superlatives? (best dressed, most likely to succeed, etc.) Nope. Wasn't popular enough.
What song will always remind you of high school? Anything by Nelly. Going to HS in Missouri meant that a rap artist from STL was a big freakin' deal! But I think our class song was by Kenny Chesney. It would figure, anyway.
Well, OK. I'm probably the only one still awake right now.
Graduated '99
Was a private non-secular school. It was considered small by my area but probably large by many (graduating class of 200)
I was an uber-nerd and was involved in things like beta club and was the editor of the senior section of the yearbook.
Lunch didn't exist. Out of 9 periods in the day, I had class for 8.5. I had lunch every other day. We would sit out on the grass and enjoy life. Such is the life of a girl from S Florida.
Weekends.... during certain seasons they were rehearsal for musicals. Otherwise, um, I don't remember. That shits was nearly 15 years ago.
Curfew was either 10p or 12a. Depended on which parent you asked. Even though I was accepted early decision to a fairly prestigious university, my dad still thought that 10p was a good curfew for me after that acceptance.
Too many shitty songs. Closing time, Cumbersome, that Green Day freshman song, and some others of that late 90's era are high school songs.
ETA b/c of my position on senior yearbook staff, I was aware of all the senior superlative votes. I received votes for biggest slacker from everyone who know me well. However, b/c I was in mostly APs, everyone who didn't know me ( which is shocking considering I went to the same school for 14 years) thought I actually gaveashit. So, I didn't win that superlative, but I did from anyone who'd ever been in class with me.
