I remember how cool it was to get your yearbook filled with signatures. With all of the popularity contests in high school, the yearbook signature was one in itself. Who had the most signatures? Some girls would buy a special set of colored pens, specifically for the last few days of school, so that they could make their signature special. As kids scrambled around, running up to classmates whose names they could hardly remember, thrusting their yearbooks and a pen at them, I sat back and took this all in, so that I could one day relate it you.

Some things I remember from yearbooks:

"When on the ladder of success, don't let boys look up your dress!"

"Cows moo, ducks quack, I was the first to sign your crack!"

"I beat the baker, I beat the cook, I beat everybody to the back of the book"

"I was here but now I'm gone, I left this note to turn you on, Those who knew me, knew me well, And those who didn't, can go to Hell!"

"Forget the books, forget the class, forget me, and I'll kick your ass!"

"I'm the crown, coming to town, signing your yearbook upside down!"

"Conformity is the enemy of thought and the jailer of freedom"-John F. Kennedy

"The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education." -Updike.
