A Senior Year


It’s slmost Comic Con time again.



Another meme, but it caught my fancy.
Tell us about your SENIOR year of high school! The longer ago it was, the more fun the answers will be!!!



The year was: Class of 60 but should have been 59.
1. Did you know your spouse/partner? Neither, I met George in my own living room.
2. Did you car pool to school?  I transferred to Boyden’s from Chula Vista Senior High my last year in HS.  Boyden’s was Downtown San Diego, and sometimes I rode in with friends, and sometimes I rode the bus.
3. What kind of car did you did have? None until I inherited my Grandfather’s 57 Chevy in 1961.
4. What kind of car do you have now?  Two: 1. Grumpy is a 85 Chevy short-bed step-side pickup, and 2. Myrtle is a 2005 Toyota Corolla.
5. It's Friday night...where are you? At a meeting last week, at Comic Con this week.
6. What kind of job did you have in high school?  I worked in the bindery of my parents print shop.
7. What kind of job do you have now?  Retired, quilt, draw, volunteer, read, and read some more.

9. Were you a cheerleader?  I was in the art club. 
10. Were you considered a jock? Me???  LOL

12. Were you a nerd? I read a lot and failed most of my classes until I got to Boyden’s.

21. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with?  Have no idea who he was. I have a picture tho.
22. Are you planning on going to your next reunion? The Boyden’s reunions sort of faded out.
23. Are you still in contact with people from school? Some from Boyden’s but none from all those eleven years in Chula Vista schools.  I hope they didn’t die in Vietnam.

  2. I had 2 days of Senior year. That's it. GED me. I have four college degrees, however, three of them grad degrees.
    IF I HAD A DO-0VER, I'D STAY IN SCHOOL AND GRADUATE from HS.

  3. Love the factoids about you, thanks for sharing. My senior year? As Bill the Cat says "THBBFT!" My senior year was mostly art classes and study hall.

  5. I don't think I got to liking school until after I graduated from college. I was not a happy student. I love that comic con outfit. What a great photo!
