My "High school" consisted of 4 years night study & i day per fortnight at the Merrivale St., trade scool.
It was quite different to the "School" enviroment.Pretty laid back.We called the teachers & instructors by their first names.Two of the teachers became good friends of mine.There were none of the social pressures that exist in school.Everyone was on the same level if you know what I mean.No bullies,no sports stars,(Plenty of clowns,myself included).
We were all there to learn the trade we were apprenticed to do.

My high school was exceedingly boring for a savant. There were bullies who would attack and harass any male student who made a grade above a C . In theory their idea was that if students made C or better their grade point average would go down since they thought they may actually have to work harder at school. So I left school and passed the GED and college entrance exam when the Cuban Missile crisis came up. I recognized the hazard of being on the East coast and joined the Navy in a 3 year enlistment and went to Japan and a ship there as an IC Phone service technician.

SHOCKER! I was part of this group
during junior high and high school.
We were known as the "Freaks".
I was in the group of teenagers who stood in the smoking section waiting for the first bell to ring and walked to the park across the street to get stoned during lunch. Friday was Pep Rally day and this always meant a long weekend because none of the "Freaks" went back to class when Pep Rally was over.
Needless to say, I did not have very good grades in High School, C's were my average, but I do remember getting one A in English class. My teacher asked us to write an advertisement using the (made up) word Glack. My paper was titled, "Glack to Bring That Special Feeling Back". It was about different scented and flavored rolling papers. My teacher wrote a note in the margins of my paper informing me that she did not like the subject, but it was one of the most unusual and well thought out assignment that she had seen so she gave me an A.

Very shy in high school but still, always had a few very close friends. I began to come out of my shell in my third year and then was always in trouble for laughing in class. I realized then, that a sense of humor could get me through a lot of "stuff". I think I also learned at that time, that some people are nasty by nature and stay that way their whole life. At least, that's what I've heard from those high school friends, with whom I am still in touch, many decades later!

Music was the only subject that I was any good at, played trombone and piano in the school orchestra, and also the county youth orchestra. But I really didn't work hard enough at any other subjects, to my regret.

I was very shy and had no self confidence. I did not realize any dreams or expectations, just was going to put in my time. I got bumped up in sciences and math, from general studies, to business then to college prep. (this was back when they tracked). I still kept some business, typing.

i'll start will junior high, then high school. my whole thing and love was sports and art. i went to school early before school to play volleyball. i played basketball, a little track, dancing club, softball, tennis. i loved sports, that's all i did and drawing. loved art and took art classes. this was in san francisco. once i got to high school, we use to go to this coffee shop across from our school and play the juke box and dance before school. i love to dance then and now. i tended to have a few good buddies, but was friends with most everyone. i avoided clicks. i've always apreciated all the kids and all the differences. i was fascinated that people were different races and cultures. that's fascinates me to this day. i was not into the opposite sex, i think partly because my father was so strict and i had so many other interest. if i had come up in this era i probably would have been a professional athlete. In junior high i often spoke to the whole school at assemblies. kids asked me to run for office. i think that's where i learned to speak to groups of people, which i still do. i was basically a simple friendly student.
