the only thing i really remember was grad pranks

my first day of school in grade 8... i'm in a new province, city, school and get off the bus to see a volkswagon bug on top of the school with "grad 87" sprayed on the car.

the next year on the first day of school the grads somehow got one of the big blue garbage bins up on the roof of the school and sprayed "grad 88" on it.

the next year on the first day of school the grads had got a ton of old tires and had stacked them up the flag pole out front of the school. i remember hearing a lot about that one becuz our principle took having the canadian flag up every morning very seriously.

i don't really remember anything happening in grade 11

my grad class was pretty mellow. i do remember right near the end of our grad year that there was an upcoming provincial election and a bunch of the grads went out and grabbed election signs from all over the city and using the signs wrote out "grad 91" on the front property of the school. the arrival of the rcmp at the school quickly opened the eyes of the seriousness of messing around with election stuff to some of my classmates.

a couple other 'events' i remember were the discovery of stink bombs that could be bought from the san fransico store at the mall (twice they were done in my classes) and then there was a fight between a couple of the guys out front of the school one day and the one kid literally got curb stomped by other. i didn't witness the fight but i had never seen that much blood on the ground ever!
