No, I met DH in Bucks County. I lived there (Sellersville, Perkasie) for a few years. My youngest brother and sister graduated from Pennridge High School in Perkasie. I graduated in OH, but when you were 17 & 18 is when I was living in PA.
I'm enjoying reading your exchange with Rapture, Grammy because these are all familiar names to me since I went to high school at C. B. West in Doylestown. DH is from Willow Grove, and we lived in Hatboro (not far from Street Road) after we were married. I have friends who still live in Perkasie, as well as a bunch in D-town.
As far as me in high school - I resisted being classified into any one group, and am the same way today. I don't do cliques. I had my group of friends (many are still friends) and we knew everyone; the jocks, the heads (stoners), the geeks. There were few in high school that I just didn't want to associate with, mostly the serious druggies. I was a bit shy, but once I got to know someone I opened up. I like to laugh, if someone could crack me up they're my friend for life. Some things never change.

In light of your post, I should add something to mine... even though I fit into certain groups, based on the way I dressed and such, I did have friends of all types! I hate cliques too, but in high school it's hard not to be labeled.
OK...no need to hide my date..she's French and I was madly in love at the time....but then she went back to France and ended up marrying a Chinese guy and living in Shanghai.... hmmm.
This was June of 1981 just weeks before my head was shaved in bootcamp!
I just had to answer this. Can't wait to read all of the others. Class of '56. I tho't I was a jock at the time, but now when I look back and talk to my friends I was definately Richie from "Happy Days".
Just a note, I am the only one from 12 on the basketball team who does not live within 30 miles of my small MO town and I catch heck when I return from CA for a visit.
It would be interesting to see what year the rest of you graduated.

Bucks County is a beautiful area. DH still has family there. We haven't been back in a while, but whenever we go back the first thing we do is get a good webber.

I was class of 1994... hence the grunge look, LOL.
I dabbled in a bit of everything but nothing and no one group overran my life. Played some sports, joined some clubs, was in a play or two, took mostly advanced courses, etc. If anything, I was a bit of a loner. I had a lot of acquaintances in high school but can say that I don't honestly think I had any true friends, and had lost contact with all buy one person from high school within a year of graduation and honestly, I don't even care (which goes to show how "close" these friendships were). I went to a very large high school, with around 2500 kids (600 in my graduating class) which is actually the norm for my area, so the school was almost too large to be cliqued up which was nice. There were definite groups but the whole jocks vs. nerds rivalry and such is the sort of thing that I've only seen in movies and TV. It's not like there was the star quarterback and the homecoming queen that everyone idolized. Even at graduation, there were people graduating who's names and faces I had never seen. Everyone at my school, even if they happened to fit more into one group than another, sort of did their own thing and left others alone.
And for the record, I hated high school. College couldn't have started soon enough for me.

I've only started 2 threads in City-Data and both times someone has started a part 2 of my threads and then mine dies and the other starts off poorly.What's the deal?My thread of "What were you in Highschool"was doing fine until the part 2 popped up.Or did we just get bored with it?
looks like part 1 is doing better than part 2 to me
