What was senior week at your HS? |
|
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 12:14 PM by Zuni
The week after we graduated, the tradition is to go to Ocean City and drink and fornicate and do drugs and sometimes go to the beach. It was an awesome time.
What was your senior week or it's equivalent?

1. Our seniors went to Mallorca every year. |
|
My high school was in Germany, so it wasn't THAT long a trip.
I was anti-social in high school, so I didn't go...and hence, know nothing of whether the drinking, fornicating and drugs were involved (though I expect at least some of the aforementioned occurred)

They thought we'd do "bad" things and have too much fun.

Only about 30 of us went. We had TOO MUCH fun. But we all made it back and none of us went to jail. Now that is an accomplishment!!!

11. There were 500 in my graduating class |
|
So we never did anything together that wasn't sanctioned by the school. We did have a "senior fun day" where they set up food, and one of those trampoline-bungee things, frisbees and the like in a gigantic public park. We made t-shirts and hung outside for a day, it was pretty fun.

12. we had "senior cut day" |
|
that was it. some people went to the jersey shore, but mostly the "social" kids.
we also had a "senior mystery trip" that was school sanctioned. it was a surprise location. our class went to an overnight at a ymca type place with pools, saunas, gameroom, etc. full searches and full time monitoring by chaperones. nothing too wild happened...or so i heard. i had nothing to do with it.
the year after us they had a "midnite dance cruise" on a tour boat. it was all hip-hop oriented which appealed to about 5% of the class and it generated lots of complaints.

16. We had "Senior Ditch Day" |
|
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 01:10 PM by Richardo
A group of about 10 of us drove 100 miles to San Diego and catamaraned on Mission Bay. Great day.
And later that evening, the LAPD burned down the Symbionese Liberation Army's hideout in Los Angeles in a gun battle. (Really!)
From Wikipedia:
.... After several other attempts to get anyone else to leave the house, a member of SWAT fired tear gas projectiles into the house, was answered by heavy bursts of automatic gunfire, and the battle began.
Two hours later, the house caught fire. The police again announced, "Come on out! The house is on fire! You will not be harmed." Two women left from the rear of the house and one came out the front (she had come in drunk the previous night, passed out, and woken up in the middle of a siege); all were taken into custody, but were found to not be SLA members. Automatic weapons fire continued from the house. Two women charged from the burning building, still firing at the police, and were shot. The rest died from the fire. After the shooting stopped and the fire was extinguished, nineteen firearms, including rifles, pistols, and shotguns were recovered.

26. I never went to any school sponsored event, nor did I participate |

in any afterschool activities.
If there was a "pep rally", we used to leave and smoke out

24. hey, I also did the traditional O.C. thing |
|
But I was involved with (my now husband) at the time, and he didn't come to Senior Week, so I didn't do any fornicating that week. :D
But I did do a bit of...
:beer: :smoke: :bounce: :crazy: :silly: :freak: :donut: :grouphug: :headbang: :woohoo: :popcorn: :toast: :9

but I have no idea what it was, and those of us who weren't from well-off families weren't in the know on those kinds of things.

27. I graduated with 699 other people-- we didn't do sh!t |
|
In fact, I walked through commencement next to a guy I'd never seen before. High school suckity-suck-sucked for me-- so much, in fact, that I skipped out on the last 1/2 of my senior year and took courses at a local college instead.

I went to an Academic Games tournament in Tennessee. There was a bit of pre-fornification and some hash that was smoked and the setting in the Smoky Mountains was beautiful. I can still picture one of my friends desperately looking for the small piece of hash that someone had dropped on the carpet. Don't know where all the adults were while this was going on! ;)
:rofl:
When we came back school was pretty much over for me - just graduation. So I guess that counted as Senior week.

Just "senior skip day," the last day of classes before finals.
Also, if we had an "A" average in a class, we didn't have to take the final.
This was in 1968, and so we still had Baccalaureate. Baccalaureates are now considered a violation of the separation of church and state, and frankly, I don't think today's students are missing anything by not having them.

40. The week I had the measles |
|
Senior week at my high school wasn't nearly that interesting.
It was the week before finals, so nothing wild happened. Seniors were allowed to dress in street clothes, not uniforms. There was a powder puff football game. Senior mass. Senior awards night. Senior awards lunch. Basically, if you had good grades, you were allowed to hang-out for a week.
Personally, I was sicker than I have ever been in my life with the measles. The only place I went was the ER for some inter-venous fluids and steroids. :(

41. Hmm. No such thing, I guess |
|
The written exams ended in a wild champagne-shower party, the weeks from then to the oral exams were a mixed bucket. A handful of the more active students took internships at a PR office to use the machines in our off-time to write the yearbook; the others enjoyed their time.
After the orals there was the customary school-hijacking (we took over the school for a day), party, ceremony and stuff but no real week as such.
Well, it wasn't exactly a High School, so...
