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::

Do you know which flavor, amy?

"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).

My high school's graduates went to Bob Jones, Pensacola, Northland, Pillsbury, Cedarville, and a few others. We used a lot of BJ's materials, but branched out into some others, as well. Mom actually got them to approve a secular math curriculum for Jr High and High School, which was HUGE.

You misspelled "orgy."

I wouldn't have thought that math could be non-secular. I mean, it's numbers. What was the non-secular version?

How can math be anything but?

There are no words.

I think I'm happy that I don't know anything about Bob Jones U.

I never heard the term 'baptistic'. Did you just make it up to describe them, or is it a real thing.

Baptists allowed a prom? Southern Baptists? I mean, the ABC (American Baptist Conference -- Jesse's dad's flavor) has been dancing for years, but they allow women in the ministry, and all sorts of libertine behavior.

Some non-denoms are less fundy, some (as are some Indy Baptists) more so.

In conclusion: SINGLE SEX SIDEWALKS?

Imaginary numbers are totally gay. Anyone who uses them is going to hell.

What was the non-secular version?

Well, any curriculum not written by BJ or Pensacola or some other Christian curriculum writer was considered "secular." I'll have to see if I can find out who developed this curriculum.

We had a "Jr/Sr Banquet." It was all very exciting.

Mom and dad actually let me go to after-prom at the local public high school, since I went there for a couple classes. It's where I met my first boyfriend. He was the band director's son. He was a sweetie. But, boy were my parents criticized for letting me date someone from the public school.
