Okay, I managed to keep clear of just about everything in high school. I wasn't smart enough to hang with the nerds and I wasn't freaky enough to hang with the geeks. I was the guy in school that sat in the back of the room and read books and drew pictures. If I had it to do over again I think I would have taken the track coach up on his offer to join the team or went out for the football team as a wideout or qb. At the time I just didn't want any part of school. I did manage to graduate so it wasn't a total loss.

Ah well, cheers.

Well, due to the limitations imposed upon me by my parents' work schedules, I was not on the chess team, though I regularly kicked the snot out of them (playing chess, not physically) during lunch break. Like Tom, I was wanted on the track team, but like Tom, that wasn't really my thing. I was very interested in music, and really wanted to join up with the school band, but time would not permit. I was a member of the art society, though we never really did anything. If I were to do it all over again, I would have asserted myself better against my parents, and hopefully as a parent myself, I will allow my children to pursue the things they excell in.

I almost joined the Cadets (drum corps/flag team) my freshman year, but after giving myself a bloody nose with the butt of a tossed wooden rifle, decided it was too dangerous. I'm a big wimp, what can I say?
I switched to Drama, and actually lettered in it. Much more my pace. I had mostly bit parts (Player Queen in Hamlet, etc), but I did lots of Assistant Directoring, Props-Mistressing, and I designed the costumes for our Twelfth Night. My shining moment was when I got the part of the White Rabbit in a musical version of Alice in Wonderland that we toured to local elementary schools. Oh my ears & whiskers! I loved it. Talk about glory days. There is absolutely nothing as cool when you're 18 as being adored by a room full of 7-year-olds.

Halfway down the stairs Is the stair where I sit. There isn't any other stair quite like it. I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top; So this is the stair where I always stop.
Ran track (mile & 220 sprints) in middle school. I was good too,
I have some trophies and ribbons to show for it.
Also played trumpet for a brief while in the band. (I wasn't so good.)
The trumpet was my oldest brother's, not a school rental.
(He still has it and plays a little every now and then.)
Played (American) football in my senior year at high school.
(Defensive end).
Played with Crawford Kerr, whom went on to play for Dallas in the '80s.
But that had been many many moons ago.
Now it's more of Kung-Fu and Paintball, though I still run a little.

I had absolutely no extracuricular activities in High School.
