Just curious where everyone has gone to high school...........
I attended Divine Savior Holy Angels.
(I was anything but an Angel.) I always seemed to rub the nuns the wrong way be it my blue or purple or even pink hair. My togas I"d wear the dances with Marquette High School, my spiked hair ~~ I was voted most likely to marry Billy Idol.
I was not like the other girls there with the preppy shoes and Izod shirts. I was more the Boy George or Stray Cat drag.........
LOL the worst was the indian ink tattoo I put on "the finger" and then asked one of the nuns if she wanted to see my cross....and I flipped her off. OMG I was in trouble for a very long time!
Menasha High for me.
I will not tell you the year,the popular music of the time or anything else that will point to my age.
BUT
I will tell you it was the most popular year in the 20th century. If you do not know by that well, you do not know and I will leave it at that :wink:
OK one clue I graduated in JUNE :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

....Now, a very great man once said
That some people rob you with a fountain pen
It didn’t take too long to find out
Just what he was talkin’ about
A lot of people don’t have much food on their table
But they got a lot of forks ’n’ knives
And they gotta cut somethin’....

I went to Mukwonago High School. I was a quiet nerd and hated school (with the exception of orchestra). Making up silly stories with my friends kept me sane! Two other girls and I labeled ourselves as gypsy violinists. We wore gypsy head scarves in the yearbook picture and set up a gypsy camp in the band room (with chairs and a bedsheet).
As for music, grunge became popular when I was in school. I still listen to a lot of the bands I liked in high school, like Smashing Pumpkins and Rollins Band.
As a Frosh I attended what is now Bradley Technical High School and was formerly Milwaukee Trade and Technical High School. I went there the last year that it was Boys Trade and Technical High School. About 2,500 students and at the time the most heavily integrated school in Milwaukee. All guys and no fights. I firmly believe that is because there were no girls around to impress or to fight over! The school had a great reputation for learning the trades.
Upper classmen devoted half their days to a shop, choosing from: Chemistry, Woodworking, Metalworking, Aero, Plumbing, Electrical, Commercial Art and Auto. When you graduated you were ready to apprentice in your field, far ahead of others.
We moved to New Berlin and I started at New Berlin West High School as a Sophomore. I enjoyed the coed classes. West was a good school. I enjoyed Vikings basketball, and edited the paper, the Norse Code. German Club was fun and I was fortunate to make some good friends who are still close to this day.
Unfortunately I worked a LOT as a kid. By Junior year I came to school about every other day just to get the paper out. Dropped out and never attended Senior year. Got my GED at Jacksonville State University in Alabama about a year later while attending Army MP School nearby.
East Bank Senior High here,,, and no it isn't in Wisconsin, but in West Virginia,,,,,,,, won't tell the year either,, just give you a clue that the hair was BIG back then,, on both us students and the bands that were popular then.
Unfortunately our high school is no longer there, but merged with a rival school Dupont, to become Riverside,,, but I still consider them the East Bank Pioneers!!!!!!!
Reuther alt high school, now called Reuther central high school.
Its located in downtown Kenosha. Right across the street from the court house which was kinda convenient for some of us. kenosha county family court was actually on the first floor of our school.
we were all the riffraff that the school district was trying to keep from dropping out. mostly single mothers, artists, musicians, poets, you know people who just didnt fit into the nice and tidy educational system. most were from troubled homes. we were all punks, and geeks.
we had our own day care, that was for the children of the students, and used for parenting classes. it was the only place where a young man would change diapers and the other guys didn't give him a hard time about it. Actually it was probably the only class in school a young father would'nt try to cut. the mentality among the guys was "you made it, now you learn to deal with it".
most of us also worked, so we would get vocational credits for our time in the workplace, in place of gym credits. kinda like some places do life crediting.
It was a very unique place, where the people in music class would play jimi hendrix, and jethro tull instead of classical or marching music. in art we would study things like esher, and our lit classes we would study things like beatnik and hippy writings. It was also unique in the sense that the people in the music classes were the coolest. and the less time their instruments spent in the case the better. we would do weird things like skip classes to sit in the park across the street and listen to poetry recitals, almost under the principles window and he never said a word.
it was a great place to learn because it was all based on ability. you would pass a class when you were ready to pass the class, none of this being advanced with the class stuff. geeks graduated early, and us punks went along as we could. we also were under contract, which was also unique about the place. we wanted to be there. and if we messed up they sent us back to the worst place in the world that we could think of. the traditional school system.......shuddder.
its weird the timing of this topic because today i set up a special shelf to place my sons first chess trophy on. I also collected their ribbons from different events and hung them from the self. then my wife dragged out a box i havent seen in many, many years, and i hung up all my art and science ribbons from when i was in high school along with theirs. ive been in a state if nestelgia all day, thinking about schooldays. then i find this topic.
thanks.

If you talk to the animals they will talk to you, If you do not talk to them you will not know them. And what you do not know you will fear. What one fears,one destroys. ~Chief Dan George. (1899 - 1981)
