Graduated HS ten years ago this month.
We tossed around a giant beach ball
When the commencement ceremony was aired on public access TV, that part had been edited out
We had a tradition where, if you'd won any awards, the awards would be announced with your name... "Winner, Math Department Award, John Doe" or whatever. For the three or four people who won the most awards (valedictorian and salutatorian always won a bunch) the graduating class would count them: "Winner, Math Department Award..." "ONE!" "Science Department Award..." "TWO!" "Women's Club Exceptional Scholar Award..." "THREE!" etc. I didn't agree with the practice, but it was still fun counting out awards for a couple of my fellow graduates and hearing them count out mine
High school reunion coming up this fall...
