I don't know, I forget.

I sure hope these aren't people who graduated last year...

But seriously, I'll go with the name of their school principal.
That may be the answer ... I do remember our principal was Sister Greta Jupiter ... I kid you NOT!

The "Nearly Impossible Question" for Monday, June 7, 2011:

50% of people can't remember this from high school. What is it?

Being there

Lots of good answers here, I really don't know. I can definitely remember my principal's name--his office was called "Wally World". This was long before the days of Walmart

I can't remember our school song, our school colours, or our emblem, or school motto. So, I will say our school motto. Final Answer

Um yes, I would agree my friend. I didn't need algebra to work in my Dad's furniture store or waitress in the Chinese cafe or sell vegetables on the farm.
