Jeni!! I can't believe you went to GWA!! It's in my hometown! I actually remember the year it was created!!! I pass by the back, by the baseball fields on my way to my bro's house.

I didn't know that Kyle went there!!

I went to good ole Monroe Area Comphrehensive High School, Home of the Purple Hurricanes. My graduating class was the 1st to be racially integrated for 4 years (although I think it was actually 5 or 6). I also there when they added the Comp. part..actually, they added another wing and more classes, lol.

Colors: Purple and White although for an extremely short while, it was Purple and Gold.

Graduating class: Betweeen 100-150, I think...so long ago.

LOL! My evil ex went to MACHS, but so did a number of people I hung out with in high school.

I graduated in 1997 with people and new a few of the Cash kids and one of my best friends was K. Hodges. I won't call out her full name. Very cool AGDLynn!

I find it frightening that many younger people in the city say that Thugz Nation and 50/50 Boyz are their claim to fame!!! Lord, help us all!!!!

Hell, after 20+ years outta high school, why is it that I still know the lyrics of my high school's alma mater and fight song?

NORTH MIAMI SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATER

Oh! Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, for in our hearts we sing to thee:

O'er the fair Atlantic shore, the sun fills each new day
With bright hopes now and more each morrow, for the Green and Gray!
To thee we pledge our loyalty, to thee our minds and hearts
From thy radiant Green and Gray, our love will ne'er depart!
Hail to North Miami, hail to North Miami, hail to thee!

FIGHT SONG

Fight, fight you Pioneers, we're gonna drive right through that line
We're gonna hit 'em high, we're gonna hit 'em low, show 'em that we're gonna go, go, go!
And then we'll forge on to victory, and we'll be sure the whole world hears -
We've got the best team in the land, at North Miami, the Pioneers!

As far as I know, the music and lyrics of our alma mater are original compositions; many other high school alma mater songs I've heard borrow the tune from 'High Above Cayuga's Waters' and make the alma mater lyrics fit. I don't know about the fight song's origin, though.

Because you like showing everyone that you know random useless things that only you care about.

AOPIHottie · #12 02-29-2004, 06:00 AM

Ryan High in Denton, TX
Colors-Red, White, and a touch of blue(yes, that was OFFICIAL)
Mascot-Raiders, as in Yosimite Sam. Yes, the cartoon character, and yes we had a huge head that looked like him for our mascot to wear. We were a new school, and my senior year was the first official graduating class, so we got to choose Raiders-we were thinking the cool raiders, nope. the first year our mascot dressed like "raiders of the lost arc" the 3rd year started the whole Yosimite Sam thing. My school board were a bunch of morons.
Graduating class of 501.

Hickman High School in Columbia, MO
Colors are purple and gold
I think we're the only high school in the nation to have a kewpie doll as a mascott... I wonder why

Apparently, like a hundred and some years ago when it was built, Hickman had a horrible basketball team and was getting raped by the other teams. During one of these games, a reporter stated that we were getting "crushed like kewpie dolls." Apparently we kept the name.

BUT.. Hickman is now known for its sports... Girls bball... #9 in the nation baby!
