30for30: Favorite Assignments #1

In just 30 days, the LHS Class of 1989 will celebrate its 30th high school reunion (on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 7pm in the back room of the infamous Downtown Lounge) ... which is why I've been posting these special TOP 30 lists (see previous lists of Jukebox Memories and Most Memorable Teachers/Staff).

This month ... it's all about the top 30 favorite assignments (see rules below) -- and that means I'm going into the archives and going way way way back to duotang folders in a bin in storage, most of which that have not even been OPENED for the last three decades.

Next up -- a final visit to the SOCIAL STUDIES folder for round three.  One of those disciplines that we studied was Sociology, and not to brag, but I aced (or aced plus) *everything* in that class, including this classic assignment where you married a classmate and raised a child together (a child that was, of course, an egg -- because we were a poor city school that couldn't afford those fancy creepy dolls).  We had to journal about it (see subsequent photos), and as overachievers, we also designed a house ... and then also processed a full blown divorce (because, as children in the late 80's, that was all the rage and I was actually an expert in the subject matter due to both of my parents' life choices).  Regardless, I just thought it would be fun to remember my very first faux marriage (I had a second fake one in college as part of a murder mystery and then a third secret one in 2015).

RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST:  These are MY favorite assignments.  They may also be YOUR favorite assignments -- but they may not be, especially since it's quite conceivable that you have NO favorite assignments.  My grades, though, were pretty good ... so, you know ... hence this particular countdown.  No negativity or other comments about hoarding will be permitted (after all -- hoarders wouldn't know where [most] of their things are and they wouldn't be so [mostly] organized ... so SHUT YOUR MOUTH about that).  The poster is not responsible for any reappearance of any repressed memories you might have about anything that is included in this series.  Note:  due to the fewer number of days in February, two posts of this kind will show up on Sundays.
