I was a shade under popular - I guess you could say well liked. I was just friends with everybody.
My school had about 2,700 students so being popular amounted to people knowing who YOU were. Most of the "popular" kids were those that did a lot of activities, got good grades, had money, and were actually friendly to other people. I recall being the editor of the video yearbook and putting all my friends in it. If someone werer to look at that, they would probably think "man, you guys must have been popular" . LOLOLOL
I just remembered that everyone was so jealous because I did the morning announcements everyday over the intercom (which was the "it thing" to do because people KNEW who you were).
Cripes! The stuff that was soo important back then. LOL
