Quiz stolen from Chels who stole it from Stephen who stole it from your mom
1) Where did you graduate from and what year?
James S. Rickards c/o 2004 IB program
2) Did you have school pride?
Our mascot was a black pirate...
3) Was your prom a night to remember?
Yea it was fun. The girl I went to prom with actually asked me to go with her; I never really got to ask anyone. She was one of my sister's good friends and didn't even go to our school but she was definitely someone I would've asked and we had a great time.
4) Do you own all 4 Yearbooks?
no. I don't own even one actually. My sister worked for yearbook staff though and has the one from my senior year so I just look at hers.
5) What was the worst trouble you ever got into?
We had many substitutes in my latin class my senior year, and there was this one sub that I could not stand. So every day I would deliberately make random comments while he would try to "teach" in order to piss him off. Well, one day, we were talking about some mythology, and he brought up Hercules. He was talking about him in the context of him being gay, so I blert out, "What a fag." Yep, I called Hercules a fag, and he gave me a detention!!
But overall I was a really nice kid and pretty straight-edge too.
6)What kind of people did you hang out with?
This shouldn't even be a question because everyone I hung out with in high school was crazy. If you guys think that Nick and I are crazy then you haven't seen anything yet. I really didn't have a "group" in high school that I hung out with; I got along with and talked to just about everyone. The thing I enjoyed most about my high school experience was that everyone knew and hung out with each other. I guess you could say we were all very close knit.
7) What was your number 1 choice of College in HS?
I've always wanted to go to Duke. That's been my number 1 choice since I was like 10 maybe. Then I had an infactuation for Stanford for a bit. When it came to choosing schools in my senior year, I decided that I was going to go to UF. My mom pushed for me to come to FSU because she wanted me to be close to home, so I finally gave in; I literally made my decision for my choice of college a day before my scheduled orientation with FSU.
8) What radio station(s) did you jam out to in high school?
100.7, 96.1, 102.3
9) Were you involved in any organizations or clubs?
some - Junior Classical League (JCL), NHS, Cake club (yep, where we baked cakes and brought them to share with everyone else) and others. I was also involved in some clubs that my friends and I made up, like the Rickards Bolshevik Football league (RBFL). We played football alot during and after lunch, so we got a teacher to sponsor us and petitioned to our principal to make it a club, and he did lol. We even have a photo in the yearbook under "clubs" with our club name. Good times...
