“My high school wasn't a big public school; it was tiny. There were 36 girls in my graduating class. We were a big group of girls that by the time senior year came along couldn't wait to get away from school fast enough but we loved each other. It's really fun to see the girls at reunions now.” YearsEnoughBigsSchoolGirlFunWaitingClassGroupsHigh SchoolTinyGet AwayGraduatesSeniorPublic SchoolReunionSenior YearGraduating Class Author:Cecily von Ziegesar
