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

Questions:
- Did you belong to any clubs?
- Did you stay after school for activities? If so, how did you get home?
- We’re you involved in sports? If so, which ones? Were you good at them, mediocre, or at least trying?
- What was your favorite school related sports or physical activity?
- Did you hold any leadership roles in school?
- Did you play football, basketball, or some other sport or were you a cheerleader?
- Did you travel after school, on weekends, or in the summer for any activities? Where did you go?
- Did you receive letters, awards, or certificates for your involvement?
- Did you belong to any organizations that were not associated or sponsored by your school?
- 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. 🙂
