High School

via Dre & Niralth

Your senior year in High School is supposed to be “the best year of your life.” Let’s see how much you remember. I know for some it might be hard for you to go back that far!

Year: 1994
1.) Who was your best friend?
Sean or Pete, probably.
2.) What sports did you play?
I swam. Played water polo, as well.
3.) What kind of car did you drive?
My parents’ 1984 Toyota Camry.
4.) It’s Friday night, where were you?
Either something band-related, or swimming-related.
5.) Were you a party animal?
No.
6.) Were you in the “In Crowd”?
Not by a longshot.
7.) Ever skip school?
No… not high school classes, at least. Pete & I probably skipped a few UCB math classes to play Mortal Kombat 2, though.
8.) Ever smoke?
Not then, not since, not ever.
9.) Were you a nerd?
I guess.
10.) Did you get suspended/expelled?
Nope.
11.) Can you sing the Alma Mater?
We had a song?
12.) Who was your favorite teacher?
Uh… hm. Tom Cochrane, though that was my junior year. Senior year, maybe Mr. Sands, the English teacher?
13.) Favorite Class?
I didn’t particularly like any of ’em.
14.) What was your school’s full name?
Piedmont High School
15.) School Mascot?
A guy in a kilt.
16.) Did you go to Prom?
Yes.
17.) If you could go back and do it over, would you?
I dunno. Maybe? There are things I’d definitely have done differently, but I don’t know that I’d trade what I’ve got to do things again.
18.) What do you remember most about graduation?
Nothing in particular, really. Graduation was pretty meaningless, for me.
19.) Favorite memory of your Senior Year?
First kisses count? I don’t see why they wouldn’t. Yeah, it was senior year. Shaddap.
20.) Were you ever posted up on the senior wall?
The what, now?
21.) Did you have a job your senior year?
Lifeguard at the Piedmont pool.
22.) Who did you date?
Not gonna post someone’s name without their permission. AC.
23.) Where did you go most often for lunch?
When I was at school, I’d eat stuff from home. When we went to Berkeley, probably LaVals.
24.) HAve you gained weight since then?
Yeah. 50 lbs. Yatz.
25.) What did you do after graduation?
Swam, worked, not much else, really. College, then work.

    Pretty lame when a band nerd can’t remember the fight song. My bet is he just doesn’t want to admit that he was a clansman.

    We are Piedmont, fighting clansmen
    bold and bonny bunch
    We eat thistles for our breakfast
    granite for our lunch (munch munch munch, or rah rah rah depending)
    We are Piedmont fighting clansmen
    Come from highlands brown
    So fight, Piedmont fight till every foe is down

    (I admit I thought “bonny” was “brawny”, as did most others I expect, and I don’t know that I ever knew the “come from highlands brown” line properly)

    Graduation memories? Trimble walking on his hands after he got off the podium (so his gown fell down, and showed his shorts and black socks)
