What was the funniest thing, or the thing you will remember most, about high school? This past fall Blackwell celebrated its Centennial Celebration. The homecoming celebration was more extravagant than usual. As a spirit team member, I spent long hours preparing for this homecoming. Some of the funniest moments of my high school career occurred after midnight while we were decorating the gym. For the life of us, the four remaining spirit team members could not plug in the lights lining the floor. I also got to serve as the reigning queen of the festivities due to me being named Homecoming Queen the previous year. We broke ground on the new high school and I twirled fire at halftime, making it the first time in school history.

What advice do you have for underclassmen to survive high school? Get involved in school activities and embrace school spirit. Go to football games or other sporting events, attend the school dances, and embrace the corny high school traditions. Most importantly, do not worry about being popular, find a few good friends that care about you and hang out with them. These true friends will always be there for you and will create fond memories with you.
 
What will you have to tell your classmates at your 10-year high school reunion? "Wow, I cannot believe you all are still alive. In the past 10 years, I have not met anyone as crazy, unique, or life changing as you guys."
