blast from the past

i got a package in the mail today from mom that included the following: a book titled "How to Live with a Neurotic Cat" and the following letter:

Last Class of the Century

As our time here at Westwood comes close to it's final bell, we ant to make sure that our legacy never dies. In the past, it has been a tradition for the Senior girls in Student Council to organize a list of things they want to accomplish before the dreadful day is here. However, this year there are too many eligible girls capable of raging and frolicking in the halls to keep this an exclusive event. We need you. Here's how it works: the girls of '96 made a list of 96 things they wanted to do, '97 made a list of 97, etc. So now here we are, the class of '99 and we need all of our dedicated Warriors to help fulfill our goal of 99 deeds.

You have been chosen because of your great devotion to upholding the Warrior Pride and Spirit. our first meeting of the L.C.C. Tomahawks will be held on August 16, 1998 at 10:00 PM sharp at the Westwood press box (on the football field). This meeting is mandatory. if you wish to be a member, please meet us there. If for some crazy reason you can't make the meeting, but would still like to be a member, call Jennifer Ward at xxx-xxxx. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

REMEMBER......YOU'RE FROM WESTWOOD!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Ward, Kari Hancock, Allison Smith, Meadow Wright, Annie Martinsen, Mckenzie Davis

What a funny and random thing to get in the mail ten years later....we sure sounded serious. I don't remember much about that night other than being dropped off by Ben Wright, drinking spirit juice and screaming at the top of our lungs. The question is, did we ever have another meeting after this single event? My memory is fading on me...hope you enjoy!

I rememeber jennifer making us drink orange tampico drink and lighting candles. My mom was saying it was too late for the first night of school, but of course of couldn't miss the LCC meeting. We also organized color shirt days, and then had patterns for what shirts to wear according to status of guys, etc. Does anyone else remember the guys being frustrated by not knowing the code? Funny Stuff. I remember stealing the boys socks and getting their moms to be in on the little trick. We were so tricky. Kaylani, scan in those photos and lets see them. I don't think I took my camera that night, but I sure think it would be fun to see them! Do share. I also remember the LCC girls as being some involved with some activities on the night before Graduation, that were somewhat questionable. Thanks Jen for organizing the troops!
