Favorite High School memories?


I guess it was having closer proximity (of course, not too close) to members of the opposite sex (moreso than today. It's a rarer occurrence for me to be near females unless I'm at a bar or something.)

Not exactly a favorite memory, but Memorable!
I was actually in a cat fight with another girl who was fooling around with my boyfriend. I'd never been in a physical altercation before and I haven't ever since! I didn't realize that these things really hurt. It looks so simple on TV! LOL!
Turns out that we should have both gone after that two timer!
Later in life, he was married and divorced several times. One of his ex's told me that she had caught him in bed with some woman. Once a rat, ALWAYS a rat!

Favorite memory? The Drama Club! ByeBye Birdie! I was in that play.
Other than that? Graduation!!!!!!

Gotta admit, Shogun, overcoming my adversaries are some of my fondest as well. One of my most memorable incidents was at a school I attended on a military base in Germany. We lived in military family housing and a kid at the end of the building focused on me to test the boxing skills he had acquired from his older brother who was Golden Gloves. I wasn't exactly a pushover. I was good in gym class, sports in general and was also the oldest son in my family. My closest brother in age and I used to scrap and have long wrestling matches (which was why I later ended up on the wrestling team). But I wasn't disciplined; I was a brawler.

Anyway, he taunted me for awhile, the tension built until the day of the inevitable showdown. Maybe it was a lucky punch but it dropped him. Not only did he go down, he landed in a pile of fresh dog shit. He never showed his face to me again after that. My brother was ecstatic.

Sounds like a lesson he never forgot🍻

Playing football! We were not a good team, but it was fun!

Probably a class trip to NYC. Kind of eerie thinking of being at the top of the World Trade Center a year or so before 9/11.

I was a chronic truant. I doubt I ever attended a single full week of high school. Either I skipped first period, or last period, or left midday without returning, or just never made it in at all.

One day I skipped a class in the middle of the day with every intention of returning afterward. On my way out, I found 4 fellow students parked in a car right across the street (and I'm talking about a street that was only 30 feet wide, and easily visible from half of the school's windows) drinking beer from plastic Solo cups. These beautiful, crazy bastards had a full keg of beer in the trunk of the car.

Needless to say, I never made it back into the school building that day. 🍺

We lost in the City Hockey Championship when I was in grade 10. It was a one game final and it was in overtime and I was playing defense. The other team has a two on one break and I am the last man back. The puck goes under my stick as the pass is made from my right to left. The player receives the puck and takes snapshot and I dive head first trying to stop the puck. The puck just goes over my out stretched left hand and beats the goalie in the top corner. I hit the ice and slide into the boards. As I am getting up I see the other team celebrating in a pile. Final score 3-2. We lost. Even though we lost I will never forget it.

It's the closest the school ever came to winning the City Championship even to this day.

Erm, probably making friends. For the most part it felt like prison to me, so I'm with MissMargo on graduation day!

This is a terrible confession to make but I *liked* the terrible food in the cafeteria 😂

I sat next to a friend in one interminable class (very bad teacher) and one day we decided we'd ditch. First he stood up, gathers his books, and walked purposefully out the door. Then I did. Teacher didn't even blink. Probably barely noticed, if she noticed at all.

He and I walked around, talked, joked, and generally had a great time. That may be my best memory of HS, aside from graduation.

As an aside, we went to our 10-year graduation together too. I had to talk him into it, but we went!

Thats great stuff!
You sound like Molly Ringwald in those John Hughes high school movies:)

reply

Ha! Maybe a little, but I never did get the hang of putting on lipstick without using any hands! 😡

reply

That Molly Ringwald was something else😍

One of the best memories was our trip to Rome and accidentally leaving the math teacher behind at a French highway restroom on our journey back. The French police even came after us to return him. I believe the teachers hesitated a moment about taking him back!

I also had a part in a school play!

I used to enjoy field trips to the old German castles.

We went to Trier with school.

Awesome ! I once lived in a town called Bad Durkheim which boasts to having the largest wine barrel in the world, which is actually a two-story restaurant.
