Varsity Letters

Did anyone ever receive a Letter in high school for something other than sports?

I have one from drama. Man it was tough work getting it though. It required all 4 years of high school for that one.

I also lettered in golf lol. I was bummed I never made the varsity soccer team, but I did get to be the second goalie on the varsity team when the star goalie broke her ankle before the CIF championships, so my name is forever in varsity CIF lore lol and they spelled my last name wrong too.

  • I remember my freshman year, everyone expected me to win the Literature Award. There was no doubt about it. Unfortunately the decision maker was a teacher that didn't like me very much and decided to give it someone else. I was shocked.

    I still want that award darn it...it was miiiine! lol

  • Drama and chess club for non sport related.

  • Nah, I was a looser. ( I think. . . ) LOL!
  • I don't remember anyone getting letters for anything except football. I mean, they might have, but no one wore those dumb letterman's jackets or anything.

    A woman after my own heart! They didn't award "letters" for yearbook, but I did it for 3 years and was editor my senior year!

    I didn't letter in anything. I was active in extracurricular activities (sports and academic), but just did it for the fun of it with no intent to letter.

  • My school had "block" letters for sports and "script" letters for non-sport/academic achievements.  I had my block letter for cheerleading and my script letter for choir.

  • I had one for having a 4.0 GPA but I didn't put it on my jacket...I only had my cheerleading one.

    And yes, I wore one of those "dumb letterman's jackets." Confused

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  • Only sports got letters for my school. I got one in Volleyball for the one and only year I played. I somehow ended up as JV and Varsity Captain so I got a letter.

    It's just my opinion. /shrug. Maybe other people had nice jackets but the ones at my highschool looked very similar to the kind in 'Grease'.

  • I got one in theatre and proudly wore it on my letter jacket. (Yes, I was a dork.)
