Mention something you were good at in high school.

I did well in most of my subjects. I think my GPA was 3.3 when I graduated. High school was a blast, mostly. Always something going on. We never would have had time to play video games or text on the phones.
 
Gary, Gary, Gary......You was a baaaad boy!!! As for "Kim Novak......We had an art teacher (I planned to be a commercial artist ) that looked so much like Rita Hayworth it was spooky. She used to stand behind me at times while I was busy drawing the fruit bowls we had to do and she made me sooo nervous....The pat on the shoulder was a thing I still remember....
 

I excelled at primping and rolling my long hair on orange juice cans.
School newspaper and on the yearbook committee
NHS junior and senior class
Snare drum for the drum and bugle corps, which was also known as the "drunk and bottle corps."

Fun times.
 
I wanted to be a commercial artist. Anyway, after the first month of art classes, which were boring due to having to draw flowers in vases, fruit in bowls, we were told we would be going to an art class which would have a LIVE model. The guys couldn't wait.

Came the big day we arrived at class, picked out the easel we would use and waited for the LIVE model to show up.....The curtain parted and out strode the model....HE was wearing a bathing suit and got into position for we budding Van Goghs. Talk about a let down.....Lost interest in commercial art shortly after that.

I then discovered I enjoyed writing...Short stories. Got a great comment from my English teacher who said my writing style was comparable to Dickens and Stephen Leacock. That was a complement but...Charles Dickens??? All in all enjoyed High School...….
 
Cutting class. I got away with it because I was so quiet and meek. My girl friend and I would go to our homeroom and then leave and go to New York City by bus. It was only about 30 minutes away. We would see all the live TV shows that were on during the day. You didn't need tickets back then and the lines were short. We got caught red handed only once. We got front row seats to watch a game show and the camera scanned the audience and there we were waving like two fools. Little did we realize the teachers had the same shows on in the teachers lounge.

The next day a teacher asked if we enjoyed the show. I almost died. I think we got detention for a week. I went to quite a large high school and half the time attendance wasn't taken. If we were asked, we said we went to the school nurse. They never checked. I was also quite good at forging my Moms signature which came in very handy.
 
Cross Country strolls during games lessons.They were supposed to be runs......I still take a stroll around that route.
