Fantastic: one of my University alums (Douglas Southall Freeman) was the namesake of my first High Schools. Ah Richmond, keeping it local.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

I think of it as a personal code vs. a set of rules for behavior in a system.
A journalist can have morals that have nothing to do with journalistic ethics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fay Weldon went to my high school. I did not know that. Alumna were something that never came up. I didn't find out about Angela Lansbury until after I left, and the only reason I knew about HBC and Sarah Patterson was because they were acting while I was there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
All the semi-famous people who went to my college were there when I was, I think. Michael Park from As The World Turns and Pandora Boxx from Drag Race are probably the most famous. A nun who I knew also has a wikipedia entry, but I don't think she is actually famous. And I don't know if Manuel Rivera-Ortiz is actually a famous photographer, but I knew him (and his husband). His wiki article makes it look like he is famous! [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, he forgot to put on part of his Bat-costume.
With definition like that, who needs it?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
My high school lists 4 notable alumni, none of which I've ever heard of.
And this amusing bit (emphasis mine):
In Summer 2005, Woodbridge Senior High School underwent extensive renovation throughout the building. The math pods were completely renovated, and work on the social studies pods began. Trailers to house students displaced by the renovation were parked near the school tennis courts. Classes were rotated out of their usual classrooms and into these trailers in two month cycles. The trailers were cold and wind-battered.
Students came back to school in the Fall of 2005 to find that they had no ceilings, as the tiles had been taken out for replacement, and since this revealed electrical wires and mechanical equipment, there were concerns about a detrimental effect on the learning environment. However, wiring and machinery was carefully secured and no injuries or ill health effects were reported. The only incidents of electrocution were the students' own faults.

Heh. Well, if it was their own fault....
