For those who were in my high school graduating class

I can think of at least 5 of you who read this regularly, so I have a question.

Does it bother you that they took a class of '91 mug and changed the 1 to a 4 when we graduated? I am drinking tea out of my class of '91 or '94 or whatever mug right now and I am annoyed. Our parents paid a freaking lot of money for our education and the least they could have done was given us a stupid mug that had the right year on it. Am I wrong?!?

I hope tomorrow is less irritating!

I had completely forgotten about that! I have no idea where my cup is; I think I threw it out because of the whole 91/94 thing. But the mug was the least of my school complaints!

You got a mug for graduation? Class of '95 got diddly squat. They didn't even let us use our own $ for class sweatshirts...

I seem to remember Amazing Savings having a closeout of 91 mugs a while back..must've been in 94!!

Sara- I am shocked. They liked your class so much more than our class

Ma- I am sure you are correct.

Yeah, we gave the school so little trouble that just ignored us--seriously! You know what they say about the squeaky wheel...

Fairly impressive that you still have this object. I'm pretty sure that mine is still out there somewhere in my old bedroom , filled with dried out markers and maybe an old ugly earring or two.

But as for the 1 to 4...c'mon...its so BALTIMORE to do that. I find it rather endearing actually.

we got a mug? I think I have blocked out much of my high school years. Selective amnesia. I'm just grateful that they didn't take all our mugshots when we graduated. Oh right, that's what the yearbook was.

And don't forget about the permanent BLOT on our records. I still haven't gotten rid of that one. It follows me around wherever I go...

so i know this is an old entry but i dont read blogs so often. i am proud to say i am a member of the class of "94 or "91 which ever. i dont remmeber the mugs either way but i had a lot more bones to pick with BYB and btw Sara, we werent allowed to use our class money for anything forget about sweatshirts. we didnt even get a senior class trip. p.s. that whole cup thing is def. an OIB experience. what about fancy looking crystal bowls for a wedding gift that are really from Amazing Savings for $5?? OIB
