A few weeks ago my high school class had their 10 year reunion, which was something I was really looking forward to heading home for. Well as everyone knows I didn't head home earlier this month because work has been a little off the wall crazy and with my transfer to a new office I was bottom of the totem poll for vacation picking and I was never going to get the most popular week of the year off (August Long weekend). But after looking over the photos that have been posted on Facebook I am a little sad I didn't make the trip. My graduating class (Moncton High School 2002) was over 300 students and it looked like maybe 10% showed up, I'll be it th 10% of people I would have loved to have seen again because some I haven't seen since graduation in '02 and a few more went on to University with me and I haven't seen since Convocation in '06. Plus the post reunion gathering looked like a pretty good time.
This is completely different than what I expected it to be. I was thinking it would be a whole lot of "look at my successes" "I am awesomeness" moments mixed with reunification of old high school cliques. But it doesn't look like that was the case, which proves once and for all that Moncton High is the best school, and the class of '02 was as amazing as I always prop us up to be. I loved my high school and so much of the high school experience. Yes I did eat lunch every day for 2 years in either the art studio or a lab doing homework because I was too busy rehearsing at the ballet studio to take that hour to hang out in student parking or jaunt down to main street. I wasn't crazy popular... actually I am shocked when people recognize me from high school and I have no clue who they are. Anyway.... I would like to take this time to pay homage to my class.
Our Class Song:
Moncton High School RIP RIP RIP
Moncton High School RIP RIP RIP
Purple and White Purple and White
Rickety Rackety It's all Right
Shout it out with all your might
M-O-N-C-T-O-N
MONCTON!
School Song:
Stand up and cheer for Old Moncton High
Ring out her name right up to the Sky
Play the game and then you'll see
That is the road to victory
When'ere your see our purple and white
You can be sure that we're out to fight
For the school that we love best
So cheer loud for victory
In our short time we try hard to keep
Our old school spirit that's grown so deep
With the grads of former years
For alma mater give three cheers
Rah Rah Rah
Old Moncton High will win o're em all
Come Moncton High and answer the call
We will try to lead the rest
So cheer loud for victory
Motto:
We Seek Wider Horizons
Wasn't I lucky to have attended such a beautiful school?
Cheers!
