30for30: Favorite Assignments #6

In just 34 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 HEALTH folder for round three, and since I've been joking about growing up in conservative central PA, I decided to finally look and see exactly what it was that they taught us about sex.  I was able to find a segment on the "reproductive systems", where I can now prove that they did teach us about the clitoris (although not what to do with it) before spending a big segment on the menstrual cycle ('cause I'm sure men wrote the chapter and were scared of all that blood down there).  Separately, I found the STD notes and that tiny chart about a little thing called AIDS -- or at least how it was presented to high school students in the late 80's. 


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.
