57. My boyfriend (now hubby) and I went to the Sr Ball & Banquet and the Prom.

Sat Jan 31, 2026, 09:44 PM

Saturday

I have absolutely no desire to go to an all class reunion. The 'mean girls' ran the student government and are the ones who usually run the reunions. They almost got away with stealing my purse the night of the Ball & Banquet. My future hubby followed them into the ladies room taking the Vice Principal with him. They made the girls pick the contents of my purse out of the trash. Apparently they just wanted my beaded purse or to ruin my evening but they were the ones that got kicked out of the banquet.

I figure anybody from high school that I've ever wanted to stay in touch with are friends with me on Facebook - everybody else can kiss my rear!
