Nothing Says Hell Like High School

Got hooked up to this one from Cara. Sorry, I don't have a pic to post. I'll ask my mom but don't go holding your breath. LOL!!!!


Fill in the blanks about your senior year. The longer ago it was the better.

1. Who was your best friend? Mary Ball and Julie Rausch in Germany and Mary Barber and Denise Horn in Texas

2. What sports did you play? Cross Country, track, basketball, softball, gymnastics

3. What kind of car did you drive? I didn't get to drive until the very latter part of my Senior year. It was a family car -- AMC Hornet. I totally believe that if anyone went to the car graveyard put key in the ignition it would still run today!

4. It's Friday night, where were you at? Football game, baseball game. Or sitting on a roof watching movies. There was a drive-in not far from my house. The houses were being built but gave the best view. Church's Fried Chicken, 6-pack of Coke, Lays potato chips, and chocolate chip cookies! Those were good times.

5. Were you a party animal? No.

6. Were you considered a flirt? Not really, I was more of a prankster. Filled the Capt of the Football Teams little VW with Rice Krispies. He left his sunroof open and it just seemed like a fun thing to do!

7. Ever skip school? Yes, but I had to call my mom to warn her first.

8. Ever smoke? Yes.

9. Were you a nerd? No, I was a jock and an artist.

10. Did you get suspended/expelled? No.

11. Can you sing the Alma Mater? Can't really sing at all!

12. Who was your favorite teacher? Mr. Reilly, he was also the CC and Track coach. Looked like a lepracun. Miss McKee, English and English Lit. She made writing papers interesting and loved lemon drops.

13. Favorite class? English first, and Humanities.

14. What was your school's full name? Austin High School. If you're ever in El Paso you can see a giant "A" on the mountain. We used to carry bell jars up the mountain with oil and light them for home games. Quite a sight to see.

19. Favorite memory of your senior year? Our class trip was to DisneyLand in California. I was terrified of falling asleep on the bus and stayed awake the whole drive there and back....but fell asleep on the "Small World" ride.
