What's the surprise? People are coming out of the woodwork for this reunion and buying their ticket at the door -- reportedly, a few who haven't aged a day since high school, and a few who are now Unrecognizable! Isn't it great!??So many people are pumped for the golf outing and the Friday night fundraiser, along with the main event. We have some fun things in store for you Saturday night. It's possible you'll be asked to do a little "Treasure Hunting" in exchange for a chance to win 50% of your ticket price back in cash! I hope you plan to come and join us! I promise I will personally make sure you have a good time re-connecting with old friends and people you don't even remember!
Trust me, I don't remember a handful of you and I'm darn sure people are having trouble remembering who the heck I am. Well, to jog your memory, I was president of the bowling club senior year. I'm sure you remember now! ....not. Isn't that the title you hope your own children will hold in high school?
Here's another clue, after asking at least 12 guys to prom and getting rejected, I wrote a bitter article in the Talon newspaper about how senior boys were cheating senior girls out of their high school prom by taking underclassmen. To accompany the piece, Jeff Zinn drew a lovely illustration - a dude with a 5 '0clock shadow and a tiny girl with a flip and headband under a banner that read "Senior Guy, Peon Girl Prom." Luckily, a kind sophomore from yearbook took pity on me and took me to prom. A double standard, for sure, but he was taller than me, bought my shoes and let Holly Peters drive his red convertible because our dresses were to big to sit in the back seat.
How about this: I won the teachers' choice for best speech (Jessie Jackson) for our Mock Election. I'm pretty sure the students' choice award went to the Bill Bradley guys. I think that was the group who mooned the audience in their boxers? My brown power suit could just not beat that.
OH...this one maybe you'll know: I drew the illustration for the senior girls' powder puff football team shirts -- "Devil Inside." Eh? Eh? See??!!! I was SOMEBODY. And you are too, so get your body to the reunion and show us what you're workin' with!
Remember when we said "Later days?" Well Saturday is that day. Be there.
