I recently received notice that our 1969 high school graduation class would be having a class reunion. This made me stop to think of the wonderful teachers and good friends that I had during my high school years. Go Statesville High School!
It would be fun to attend and try to impress my former classmates in some of the following ways:
1. Show Up in a Limo
Arrive in style! Rent a limo and pretend I am a celebrity for the night, complete with oversized sunglasses and an entourage.
2. Bring a “Professional” Photographer
Hire a friend to act as a paparazzi, snapping photos of me and my “fans.”
3. Wear a Customized T-Shirt
Wear a T-shirt that reads, “Class of ’69: Still Kicking, Just Not as High.”
4. Hand Out “Autographed” Photos
Bring along a stack of old photos from high school when I had a head full of hair and sign them like I’m a movie star.
5. Share an Outrageous “Life Story”
Make up a tall tale about what I’ve been up to since graduation. Tell about my career as a secret agent who saved the world 5 times and that i am now retired and working as a juggler for Cirque du Soleil.
6. Perform a Comedy Routine
I would tell jokes about how my dear mother would always put a gingerbread man in with my lunch. Another joke would be about when I reached over and took a friend’s pencil during a history exam and threw it out the window. High school memories are a great source for jokes!
