sartorias, who labeled it "high school." But I graduated from Reed's Fine College in 1968, so here's what my life looked like the next year.
1. Did you know your spouse? Married hubby #1 in '69. Both of us were way too young to realize we were exactly the wrong people for one another.
2. Did you car pool to school? I lived in the dorms in college, but drove to grad school. High school, I mostly walked.
3. What kind of car did you have? After college, a Saab, one of those old 2-stroke engines where you added oil directly to the gas. Probably polluted like crazy.
4. What kind of car do you have now? Rather battered 2004 Prius and not-so-battered 2002 Mazda Van for hauling dog and garden stuff.
5. It's Friday night...where were you? Folk dancing, where else?
6. What kind of job did you have in high school? Babysitting, helping out in my father's print shop. In college I worked in the Bio stockroom, taught folk dancing, and was a dorm advisor. In grad school I typed up dictation for a psychologist.
7. What kind of job do you have now? Writer, and I'll be working at it forever.
8. Were you a party animal? You have got to be kidding.
9. Were you a cheerleader? See above.
10. Were you considered a jock? See above.
11. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? See above.
13. Did you get suspended or expelled? Not even close (high school).
14. Can you sing the fight song? "Epistemology Forever"? Sure can do!
15. Who was/were your favorite high school teacher? College favorite was Lloyd J. Reynolds, calligrapher extraordinaire, who pushed us to see the white spaces inside the letters and think outside the box.
16. Where did you sit for lunch? With a gaggle of similarly geek-minded friends in college. Grad school varied.
17. What was your school mascot? College - gryphon. We had a high school mascot?
18. If you could go back and do it again, would you? High school, never. College I'd love to re-do, but not at my age. Grad school ditto.
19. Did you have fun at Prom? Nobody asked me, either school. Now I look at that and say, Yikes what losers to not see the spectacular person I am. But maybe I wasn't back then.
20. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with? see above.
21. Are you planning on going to your next reunion? Just went to college reunion. May go back when it's our 50th. Went to 50th high school and was amazed how many people remembered me (see #19) (and gloated at how good I look).
22. Are you still in contact with people from school? High school, recently got back in touch. I met my best friend in college, but she died in 2013, so I'm much less in touch. My life has moved on.
23. What are/were your school's colors? No idea, either one. I have better things to clog my memory up with!
