My graduating class was 65 people. My town had one elementary school, one junior high school, and one high school, so I went from kindergarten to the 12th grade with those same 65 people.
It was oppressive. I couldn't wait to get out.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My graduating class in HS was 800.
Mine was close to 1,000. My HS was twice as big as my undergrad school.
There are about 25 people on LJ who list my high school, none from my year. One was born the year I graduated, so...
And one has a "more cowbell" icon. He was born three years after I graduated.
My HS class was 666, which we made much of; the hub's was 12-ish, in the flavor of fundie school where they think the Baptists are too liberal.
Whee! Do you know which flavor, amy?
My grade school class was about 21, and high school was about 180....
::Goes back to cursing the DLL that is on work computer but not laptop::
My senior class was 400+, and my high school (grades 10 through 12, then) was ~1200.
My first college roommate graduated with a class of something like two dozen, and had as many penpals as she had classmates. We had two things in common: our age, and our sex. We lasted the year. We never had a falling out, but were both happy to agree to live with other people, from sophmore year on.
All this talk has reminded me that one of my teachers e-mailed me over a year ago, and I was in a stubborn phase and never e-mailed him back. Oh, dear. Just looked up the e-mail. It's been a year and a half. I'm evil.
My freshman roomie was a bastard who made fun of me for "being gay" and once threatened to shoot me with his bow and arrow.
::oh well - missing DLL means there's less work I can do at the moment::

"Christian". i.e., non-denominational independent baptistic (not Baptist, and you'd better not make the mistake), of the sort where "independent" means "all of our teaching materials come from Bob Jones U, all of our students are pressured to go to Bob Jones, and we will never even consider hiring any teacher, preacher, or traveling evangelist who didn't come from the Bob Jones empire". They expelled people for witchcraft -- using dress code violations as evidence. There was no sex ed day in school -- you were directed to listen to Dr. James Dobson's audio tapes. With your parents.
Which is to say, not quite as hardcore as the network of schools that feed into Pensacola College (best known for their single-sex sidewalks) in the same way, but they did indeed consider the Baptist schools lax (because after all, they had a prom).
