We took anyone who was good at really awesome passive-aggressive behavior.
Had a few teachers in it, too! LOL!

We would do things to confuse all of the jocks and hicks that went to our school. Like wearing suits to school and parading.

17. Me and my friend would write |

funny stories during class, which were both political satire and simultaneously making our other friend the butt of all the jokes (she didn't mind, really..) and then we made some interesting photoshop creations to go along with them. Time well-spent in class, I graduated in '04. :)

23. I was in the We the People program and band |
|
Edited on Mon Aug-01-05 09:47 PM by ih8thegop
The We the People program is a program in which teams of about 20-25 people compete by demonstrating their knowledge of the Constitution, including how it came to be written, and its application today. (For you lurking freepers, the Constitution is a piece of paper that says the President is NOT God.) We didn't win, but we did well.
I played trumpet for my first couple years, then switched to euphonium. Our band program was great: we did well at concerts, festivals, competitions, and the like. We even went to Disney World and performed at Magic Kingdom. One time, though, marching band rehearsal ended early because a quarter of the band didn't have their drill books.

27. I was only in high school part time. Most of the day, I was in the gym |
|
training as a gymnast. I went to school in the mornings only. My only friends were also my competitors.
I had a coach who would get an inch from my face and scream at me, "you are fat, lazy and uncoachable" in an effort to make me do things that even a stuntman would balk at.
At 4'11" and 97 pounds, I didn't get asked out on dates, except for by 12 year olds, but since I was sixteen, I thought that might be a bit much.
Yeah. That was me. Miss Popular. :eyes:

My parents moved out of the state at the end of my third year, so I spent my last year sans parental supervision. The only bummer of my senior year is that I missed so many mornings that I could not attend senior skip day.
I was friends with everyone. I'm just that way. If people got pissy, then I'd back away. I still do.

31. I understand this thread but |
|
I was friends with all groups, I didn't get into fights, I hung out in the smoking lounge and played guitar. I got into a lot of different trouble, but the teachers liked me. I would hang out with them in their lounge. I was a rocker who dated a football cheerleader so I hung out with the "heads" and the jocks. It was a good time, just like all my times before and after. I made the best of it all, and still try to.

I was in Drama and Symphonic Band. That's all the explanation anyone needs. ;-)

47. I staged a mass walkout in my junior year |
|
It's the accomplishment I'm most proud of from those years. A favorite teacher had been fired for bogus reasons and I and a couple of friends organized a walkout as a protest. We got over 200 kids to leave the building and protest on the lawn - when the administration threatened to call the cops, we marched back in and took over the cafateria where I called the local radio stations and the newspaper who sent out reporters to cover it.
We didn't succeed in re-instating the teacher but we did have several other grievances addressed and it was just a pretty cool thing - gave us an idea of the power of an organized group. Made the front page of the paper, too.
Twenty years later, my daughter did a similar thing at her school - I forget the reason but I was quite proud of her. She made the front page of the same paper.

all my friends were juvenile delinquent dorks and dropped out before graduating.
You couldn't pay me enough to be that age again.
On edit: I just looked at classmates to see if we were having a 10 year reunion.... the only person posting in favor of one was the biggest she-bully in the class.
Uh.... no thanks.

forensics and debate. I started a HUGE ordeal in my debate class when I argued that an oath to tell the truth taken on the bible is non-binding...due to the lack of a supreme being. This was in Missouri.
I also had a college boyfriend and young pups on the side. I was a naughty girl.:evilgrin:

We made them our "friends" and some of those "friends" have remained "friends" for life. At the end of the four years we had enough "friends" that helped us get our political views out. Back in the 60's we needed as many "friends" as we could get for our protests.

to President senior year because the "real" president graduated early! I graduated in the top fifth of my class. I lettered in volleyball and softball three years each. I was voted Class Favorite for Humor senior year. I lost my <ahem> during senior year, to the best looking guy in the school!
People liked me then, I think. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! :rofl:
