Throwback Thursday #29 – Sports and Extracurricular Activities

***

This week Maggie asks us some questions about our school days concerning things we did as sports and extra curricular activities. Thanks, Maggie! 🙂

Questions:

1. Did you belong to any clubs?
2. Did you stay after school for activities? If so, how did you get home?
3. We’re you involved in sports? If so, which ones? Were you good at them, mediocre, or at least trying?
4. What was your favorite school related sports or physical activity?
5. Did you hold any leadership roles in school?
6. Did you play football, basketball, or some other sport or were you a cheerleader?
7. Did you travel after school, on weekends, or in the summer for any activities?  Where did you go?
8. Did you receive letters, awards, or certificates for your involvement?
9. Did you belong to any organizations that were not associated or sponsored by your school?
10. Were you on any school committees such as yearbook, prom committee, etc.?

Answers:

1. I was in a few clubs while in school = Library Club (Parliamentarian), French Club (President)

2. I don’t remember staying after school for activities. I rode the bus to and from school, until I got my own car.

3. I wasn’t involved in sports, except what we had to do in P. E. class. I avoided as much as I could, because I didn’t like any of them, and was no good at playing them.

4. None!

5. Just those mentioned in question # 1.

6. Nope, nope, nope!

7. Funny that I hated sports, but in high school our football team went out of town to play for the state championship in a city several hours away. The school organized busses to take students to the game, and all my friends and I went to see the game. And our team won!

8. No, I didn’t win anything for sports, but won a scholarship, and also was inducted into the National Honor Society. Also received certificates for competing in violin competitions.

9. I did join in the Bluebirds (like the Brownies) when young, then was in Girl Scouts for awhile.

10. I was on the prom committee where we were in charge of theme, decorations, etc. I was on the Senior Carnival committee with the same jobs such as theme and decorations. Those were lots of fun.

Another strange deal was I was on the yearbook committee for a couple of years. We did the whole thing, from start to finish, each one of us having at least one special job. Don’t laugh, but I was the Sports Editor, and had to get pictures, write copy, do layout for the book, crop photos, the whole 9 yards (hah) involved with putting out a yearbook. And … I hated sports! But I did a good job with the yearbook. 🙂
