<p>Allena, my school isn't in California but it's in a neighboring state.</p>
<p>Sandwraith, that was great! You should get a prize for best h/s memory, hahahah.</p>
<p>When we were freshman we would go onto the field and throw fruits and CDs at each other. We even accidentally hit a teacher with an orange, and it exploded on her.</p>
<p>One time when I was a freshman, there was a gigantic fight at the school. Apparently some gang members from another school had jumped the fence. Anytime there is a fight, everyone runs up and crowds around. </p>
<p>My school is built onto a hill but is landscaped into three tiers. This time I was at the bottom of the third tier while the fight was at the top near the main building. From where I was, you could see a huge mass of people running up the hill from the second tier to the first. Then when security came to break up the fight, everybody quickly ran back down the hill all the way to the third tier, and a lot of them tried to hide (which is fairly easy to do at my school).</p>
<p>For the rest of lunch the main security guard went around the lower tier on his bike looking for hiding students, and they had to extend lunch for ~10 minutes too. Seeing the huge wave of kids running both directions was really bizarre. The funny thing was that my brother had no idea any of this had happened until I told him after school.</p>
<p>Last year on April Fool's Day, I walk into my school, and there is an ice skating rink in the courtyard.</p>
<p>Not even joking. I swear this happened for real.</p>
<p>Anyway, someone had made an anonymous donation for the purpose of "relieving student stress," and the student government had somehow talked the administration into renting an ice rink with some of the funding as sort of an April Fool's Day thing. There were ice skates to use and we got to skate during lunch/breaks/free periods if you had one. It was about the coolest thing ever. I still have pictures...I will never get rid of them! It was the coolest thing ever!!</p>
<p>Oh my god. 4 year old Necro.</p>
<p>I think this is a truly a record I've seen. </p>
<p>+1 epicness at whoever necroed this...</p>
<p>Damn, I just tried to necro a older post, but the site seems to only let you go 19 pages back, which is only from october 2008... Don't know how this was done</p>
<p>It's called setting the "show threads" and stuff at the bottom to "beginning"...I take it you aren't very experienced in forums? ;)</p>
<p>Since I've said this, since you're going to necro, but please for the love of god only necro a couple good ones.</p>
<p>^lol, you guys were bamf, getting banned and edited all the time</p>
<p>Maple, you seem to enjoy reviving old threads lol</p>
<p>My old school is boring, nothing exciting ever happens there. Most of the events that have happened outside of the classroom there are awkward situations.</p>
<p>Was it outdoors?</p>
<p>These threads are the most interesting I think</p>
<p>I think that it’s a combination of the two. I’d imagine that your school is indoors, seeing as how you live on the east coast.</p>
<p>Yeah. Going from class to class during the winter would be a hassle. So would lunch (do California schools have outdoor cafeterias.</p>
<p>I just realized you don’t use Eastern time.</p>
<p>No my old school has an indoor cafeteria, but we have the option to eat outside. Most people just eat outside though. The school only has one lunch period for 2,800 students, so the cafeteria is always full.</p>
<p>OMG 
2800??? My school has like 600. We used to have only 1 lunch periods, but there were too many fights, so they now have 2 lunches</p>
<p>Yes, it’s a large school. The administration was trying to formulate two lunch periods, but we all signed a petition against it haha</p>
<p>Two lunch periods would take away time for clubs to meet and making up tests.</p>
<p>Wow! My school has around 2300 kids and 4 lunch shifts. I can’t imagine having just 1…there would be complete chaos.</p>
<p>After we got rid of the single lunch period, they tried to come up with a way to have two different lunches while still running the school
My sophomore year we had a 30 minute advisory period and 20 minute lunch, freshmen and sophomores ate lunch together as did juniors and seniors
Last year we had 4A and 4B, one would be a class and one would be lunch
Now we have something like sophomore year</p>
