I was cleaning my office last night, and I found a bunch of stuff from high school and college. There were plenty of commonplace things, like class notes and papers, but it was the unexpected stuff that really brought back memories: a list of Highland Retreat quotes,1 my sophomore- and junior-year track meet schedules with all my events and times,2 poetry written by me3 and by others,4 a draft of the top ten reasons to be a math major,5 a game of MASH,6 and numerous doodles and drawings.
Several of the drawings were the kind you make by folding a paper into thirds and getting different people to draw the head, torso, and bottom of a person. Andrea and I used to sit in the back of Calculus class and goof off. Here's one of our masterpieces:
1My favorite is when Jeremy yelled, "Don't get me in trouble! Don't get me in trouble!" while spraying LaVonne with a hose in the pool house.
2My best time in the 1600M? 5:54.
3Mostly silly.
4Mostly serious.
5Including such gems as "Life without Geometry would be pointless."
6The MASH-ee ends up getting married in an orange dress to a guy named Fred, driving a station wagon, and living in a shack in Australia with 15 kids and a pet rat.
