A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
(I might be exaggerating)
Actually it was the afternoon of June 6th in 1984 and I was about to enter a new season of life!
Last Wednesday marked 35 years since I graduated from high school.
Because I was busy posting highlights from my recent birthday and cruise, I neglected to take time to focus on memories of high school.
With the exception of occasional uneasiness brought about by thoughts of a possible Soviet invasion (special thanks to the movie Red Dawn), it was a great time to be a kid!
SO many things were happening during the early 80’s prior to my high school graduation.
Such happenings include:
The cable debut of MTV
The birth of the modern internet
The release of the first Apple Macintosh
The maiden voyage of the Space Shuttle Columbia
and
WHAM!
(see what I did?)
I was a senior in high school!
(why didn’t someone help me with my eyebrows?)
During my teens, senior high began with 10th grade.
It was at this point in August 1981, that I began attending Edward H. White Senior High School

It seemed like a huge place and a schedule led by “mods” instead of “periods” was a bit overwhelming for a newbie. Luckily I had some older friends who were already attending and were able to show me how to manage (thank you Kim and Vicki).
It was important to have identification at the time.
Mine looked like this:
Although there were so many activities to keep me busy…
when I think back, time seemed to move slowly.
But before I knew it
1984
had arrived.
I would be saying goodbye to high school.
Happy 35th Anniversary Ed White Class of 84!
GO COMMANDERS!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
