In June 1989, I graduated from high school. During the evening of my graduation, I wrote an unfinished sentence specifically for the occasion and circulated it among the class of '89. Here it is, along with some of its responses:
After a four-year tenure at this high school, the most positive thing I can say about the class of '89 and its diverse crew is...
...I loved it, and I'll miss it. (Kelley R.)
...Like it or not, for a secondary school, I really got a good education here. (Andrew B.)
...Skipping classes was never very difficult, and the ones I attended got easier from one year to the next. (Bill R.)
...This school has brought us together as one group. We worked together, we fought together, we cried together, and now, we're going to share us with the world. (Julie F.)
...We may be different, but we share the same spirit, and we work well as one. (Jason M.)
...We all learned to respect each other and see each other for (our) real (selves.) Too bad it was a little late, though! (Fran H.)
...that the class is so terrifically, totally diverse! Although everyone doesn't completely accept everyone else, it is nice to know that there are still original individuals! (Marci S.)
...We learned to be truly happy...Have your friends by your side, and you can do anything you want to do. Live by this! (Leigh M.)
...I am alive and kicking. I found out I think, therefore, I am. The world runs on numbers. But seriously, I never met anyone I didn't like during the four years, but that could be because I never met Dick Cavett or the actor who looks like Dick Cavett. (Paul H.)
...Since I went to school here, I've got Missouri's 11 electoral votes in the bag for the 2024 presidential election. (John O.)
