4-30-85 . . . In other news, I got a reunion notice from two former high-school classmates. My high-school class [of 1975] will be celebrating its tenth anniversary later this summer, at the Vassar [Michigan] Golf and Country Club. But even if I lived in Vassar, I doubt that I would attend the reunion. I have few friends from high school, and probably many enemies. Several students were reportedly mad at me for getting drunk before commencement exercises. But more importantly, I am embarrassed to be in school at this late date in my life. For many of the students, school ended ten years ago, with high-school graduation. And yet, I’ve been a full-time student ever since! Ten whole years! To compound matters even further, I’ve got at least two full years remaining in my formal education. [Make that four.] What would people say? And so I’ll pass on this event. I hope that everyone has a good time. I, for one, do not want to relive my high-school days.
