By John Bongorelli, Lawyer, “Squeezer and Bongo” Mystery Weekly Magazine, June 2019
So when my old high school nemesis Squeezer Markham showed up in my law office, hair in a ponytail and still wearing his high school letter jacket, I knew there was trouble afoot. I tried to hustle him out but—no go.
His ex-wife, a sweet girl named Lisa who I remembered from the neighborhood, had been murdered and the cops were looking hard at Squeezer.
Conveniently forgetting all the times he bullied me back at school, Squeezer sauntered into my office to tell me (me!) to get him off the hook. What I needed was to get him out of my office and fast before one of the senior partners at our corporate and tax liability firm got a look at him.

I am so glad my high school days are past. I only liked being in the band.

High school was a time in which I didn't feel prepared me to face my life after high school was done. When I graduated I still didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I tried college but didn't know what it was I wanted to take classes in. Then I took a couple of vocational classes and they weren't my cup of tea either. Finally I ended up working in an office and working my way up. robeader53(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplySo glad my high school days are over. I lived in the shadow of two brothers who were trouble makers. I was the shy bookish nerdy girl who actually did her work, was a voracious reader, and was not at all popular. Once teachers figured out I was nothing like them, their attitudes towards me changed. But damage had been done at that point. Oh well! I can only hope better things in high school for my 5 kids. lynettetrotta at gmail dot com

ReplyThe best thing about high school was being with my husband-to-be, still those traumatic high school years, but we were together. 50 years now.

ReplyI enjoyed high school in the 80s. I went to a good school with good people. Some challenging times, but definitely more good than bad! I also loved the music and movies of the 80s! sa7mrt at aol dot com

ReplyHigh School was a little tricky. I played sports and was also in the drama club. It was a smaller school. The best part was having friends that have lasted 40+ years.

I enjoyed high school. Went to a girl's high that was supportive and challenging. Except for some math classes, i enjoyed my time there. mlarkin (at) rmrgroup (dot) com
ReplyGoing to the Bahamas and 8 track tapes are 2 great memories from my high school days! minishoes(at)msn(dot)com
ReplyMy favorite memory of high school is a relatively recent one. My classmates and I were born in 1957 and that was also the year that the Mackinaw Bridge open. Mighty Mac connects the Lower and Upper Peninsulas of Michigan. In celebration of both, we walked the 5 mile bridge on the only day it was allowed. An amazing experience as I hadn't seen some of them since graduation in Detroit (1975)! We had a blast. kim7corn(AT)gmail(DOT)com
ReplyI am glad that my high school days are long behind me. I was one of those students who loved learning, wore glasses and was shy. Easy target for bullies. But I learned skills that I still use today like typing and I got to use some of the earliest personal computers (who remembers LANs and big floppy disks). Thank you for a chance to win!

ReplyI liked high school. I don’t like for people to feel left out. So I made sure to talk everyone in school.
