Sunday Five High School


High School, the end of basic education in the United States.  None of my grandparents finished high school (one grandmother was close, but never went back to finish) my mother graduated from high school, my father didn't.  He insisted that all of his children would, and we did. The system varies in other parts of the world but what I am referring to is the basic education system that starts as a child and ends in our teens.  

Five questions about High School:
1: What year did you finish or leave? 
2: Do you have a class ring or pin? 
3: What were you driving when you finished school? 
4: Did you know the person closest to you today when you finished school? 
5: School colors? 

My answers: 
1: What year did you finish or leave? 1977 
2: Do you have a class ring or pin? yes, both.
3: What were you driving when you finished school? A Chrysler Newport, or a Dodge pickup truck.
4: Did you know the person closest to you today when you finished school? No, only in my dreams 
5: School colors? Dark Blue and White
