W.T. White High School, Dallas TX (I would have been class of '82, but I opted out in my junior year, got my G.E.D., went to community college for a couple of years and then SMU university).
Yep, I survived the D.I.S.D.! :eek:
I won’t put my kids through that district, though. We live in the Plano school district.
How serendipitous! I technically graduated there 18 years later–boycotted the ceremony because of the blatant, unapologetic sexism of the gowns. Stirring up fond memories, I’m sure, plnnr!
I think you probably went to school with my friend’s son. Small world.
As for me, Truman HS, Indepependence, MO. Class of 1993. I actually walked into the school yesterday evening to pick my nephew up from Debate. Everything looked so… small. Weird.
It’s good to know that we Kansas City-area people are making a showing. Not quite the numbers the Clevelandites and Michiganers are throwing our way, but still.
Blue for the boys, to symbolize strength. White for the girls, to symbolize purity. No switching amongst yourselves. And as the gowns were cheap and tissue paper-like, the girls’ gowns were all but see-through. And they required pantyhose. Way to go, class of '00. :rolleyes:
I bet you’re right. I also remember Blind Spot and a show where Dance Hall Crashers headlined and No Doubt, still just a wee blip on the radar, was their opening act. HA!
Although he may be from somewhere else, I think Epimethius (sp?) lives in KC. Haven’t seen him in this thread.
I’m actually pretty glad I haven’t come across any old classmates. I was glad to get out of there because a good number of them were complete assholes.
Union Endicott High School
Endicott, NY
Class of 1989
Just had my 15 year reunion in July. Out of almost 500 graduates, less than 30 showed up at the reunion. I only went because I was back in town for my godson’s second birthday party. I’m glad I went though, I ran into some old friends I had frankly forgotten all about! We reconnected and will hopefully keep in better touch before the 20th reunion!
