30for30: Favorite Assignments #10

In just 38 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 COMPUTER folder for round three, where I found this collection of PASCAL programs that represent the beginning and the end of my career in programming (or what today's kids call coding).  To the best of my knowledge, PASCAL is now a lost language no longer in use (which makes sense for something that was new thirty years ago), but that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy reminiscing over the special header section at the top which was a place for freestyle comments that, me being me, I turned into an opportunity for snark (that one in the bottom right corner appears to be me taking digs at the new principal's "assertive discipline program" which launched in our senior year).

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.
