Reading these HS quote things or class motto things. I can't even remember mine, I think a couple nerds came up with it. I'm going to suggest one to my son for when his class graduates. Short simple And you will remember it on a somewhat regular basis

Don't stop believing -- Journey

What better class motto than that is there?

My class's theme song:

What a landmark movie that was.

You guys can actually recall your HS class songs? :eek:

I don't remember my graduation at all but remember my sisters because I took a bunch of pictures of her (crying, she's a crier) and that she was valedictorian. They played Elton John's Friends and had a nice slideshow of her classmates through the four years of HS with two projectors and a dissolve unit which was kinda high tech **** back in 1971. Being a nerd I was impressed with the fade in fade out slide stuff.

I don't remember the song but we still remember the valedictorian speech. Pretty much every other sentence was "Our time is now."

You betcha. (Now there's a Minnesota expression.) The big topic was the draft (it was 1973, and Vietnam was uppermost in our minds), and whether or not we would go if drafted, or head north. This was a time when guys' hair was long and the politics were very inflammatory - not quite as bad as 1968, but heated nonetheless.

I got a student deferment, and then in 1975 Tricky **** decided to start bringing the boys home. I watched Ken Burns' Vietnam doc series last fall - tremendous stuff.
 
No ******* way. He literally wished death on a political figure. It was just what you did, but in a more aggressive way. Thats ******* ******** if he didn’t get banned for that.

Talk like that is pretty dangerous these days, what with all the shootings going on. I'd be leery of saying anything along those lines, for fear it might be misinterpreted.
