I was just "that weird girl dressed all in black over there in the corner."

Student Government
SHCOG (Student Honors Committee on Government; my high school's social studies honor society)
Civil Air Patrol (Billy Mitchell and Amelia Earhart awards; cadet commander of the local cadet squadron)
Dade County Champions, Social Studies College Bowl

When I was in school, about half of that stuff hadn't been invented yet.

(I also did one year of Drama Club and 2 of Student Council, but those were mostly pointless)

Being cool club
Getting girls club

This kid cracks me up.

-Rudey

I went to a small high school. Our athletics program sucked, but we were known for our fine arts. Because we were small, I pretty much did everything: band, vocal, drama, speech, some athletics, etc...

Please tell me you have pictures. Because I would totally pay good money to see those. And by good money, I mean a dollar draft at the Ave.

You mean the Starter jacket and acid-wash jeans didn't cancel those out? Man....

soccer
bpa (business professionals of america)

Dude, Starter jackets were HOTT (with 2 t's) when I was in Junior High! ;) haha.

Hey, I was in this club too! (It was a relatively small club at my high school. ;) )

Honestly it was a pretty sweet era for Collin.

C, don't forget the multiple earrings - those really made the picture complete.

Ok I hope you guys are joking about some of the clubs you were in. Some of you guys were in WAY too many. Probably just went to one meeting, paid the dues and put it on your college apps

And by the way, being a high school tv anchor is, as the French say, le gay.
