Your senior high school yearbook quote

Trilby · 02-21-2008, 11:44 AM

what brilliant thing did you quote as a final salute to your four years in high school? I graduated in '82 and mine was, "What a Long, Strange Trip it's Been" and not ten years later everyone in that school was a nouveau Dead Head. Weird, huh.

oh, just some background: I went to a Catholic hs, a RICH Catholic hs, where 99% of the girls wore preppy green and pink with PapaGallo purses and sox, Dexter shoes and grosgrain ribbons in their hair. It was an unusually tuff gig but, whew, I clung to my black eyeliner and Quoddy mocs. And, I smoked in the girls room.

ah, you beat me to it!

mine (1973) was from Crosby Stills Nash & Young:

"Don't let it bring you down. It's only castles burning. Just find someone who's turning, and you will come around."

I thought they made you wear uniforms to eliminate all that crap? Are you telling me teenage girls find ways to compete with each other anyway? I am SHOCKED!!

We ddin't do yearbook quotes. I'm not sure what I'd have put.

We didn't do individual quotes, but I remember my class quote was the ever-inane: What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.

Huh. Sure.

Our senior class song was Separate Ways by Journey. Yeah, I graduated in 1983.

We did wear those sexy tartan pleated skirts or grey school pants but you could wear any top as long as it had a collar or a turtleneck. We competed with tops, shoes, sox, ribbons, purses. And, swatches. I never wore a watch. My purses were big, overgrown hippie things, usually leather or suede and my shoes were Quoddy moccasins. They went for the Fresh as a Daisy makeup; me and my pals went for the Cocktail waitress/Queen of the Damned look.

My freshman roommate in college said that in her school, she and the other risque' girls would very carefully, delicately pull out the white threads in their tartan skirts, so that in just the right light the skirts would appear translucent.

Neither did we...and my favorite quote didn't come across my desk until the year after I graduated.

Though as a class, the running joke quote was:

"Beer on the table
Sex on the floor
We are the Class of '94"

We didn't get to quote.....However one of my favorite signatures in my yearbook was........

"Father Flanigan said "There is no such thing as a bad boy"..... You sure came close to making a liar out of him"

No idea what mine will be. Probably depends on my mood that week.
