Did your HS "Most Likely to Succeed" Succeed?

<p>It’s funny…I’d like to see how my school’s MLTS pan out. They both went to BC, one undecided (female validictorian) and one for physics (my friend who was top boy). </p>

<p>I, of course, won Most Argumentative along side the salutorian. I tutored her through out high school…those sessions were very intense, as you could assume from two people who loved to debate.</p>

<p>MLTS male was accepted to Yale and drowned at the Jersey shore before he matriculated. He was saving his girlfriend from a riptide.</p>

<p>Did he save his girlfriend? If so, I would say, despite his early death, he was more successful than most people on this planet.</p>

<p>Yes, he saved his girlfriend. And, I would agree. It was a selfless act, very like he was.</p>

<p>I don’t remember who was our hs’s MLTS. But our valedictorian is a physician. (Class of 1980)</p>

<p>This was a really interesting question so I got out the old yearbook since I haven’t kept up with anyone in many years! We didn’t have a “most likely” type of list so out of curiosity I just Googled our valedictorian, who went to Harvard and then got his masters and JD at Yale and has been a lawyer for 30 years, also teaching business law. A very extensive resume.</p>

<p>Our class president and homecoming king seems to have played squash for Princeton and is now a big deal ophthalmologist in Boston. One patient was so impressed with her cataract surgery that she wrote him a poem.</p>

<p>Our NHS president, who also went to Harvard and got a PhD at Yale, is a renowned professor in environmental economics and won a major award last year following what appears to be a fabulously impressive career - fellowships, books, you name it.</p>

<p>Thank goodness I can’t track down any of the other girls cause boy do I feel like a failure now!</p>

<p>We didn’t have senior superlatives either. Our class Val. went to UNC-CH on scholarship and was killed in an auto accident after jr. year.<br>
The others in the top 10 of my class have ended up doing regular jobs, nursing, pharmacy, banker, etc.</p>

<p>I don’t remember if we had senior superlatives or not, but one girl really stands out in my memory. She was intensely serious, I don’t think I ever saw her smile, and a truly gifted student. She went off to Harvard and found her tribe in the math department. She’s now a professor at another elite university, with a long list of accomplishments and published work in her field. It’s nice to see her doing well, and smiling broadly on her web page.</p>

<p>Our female MLTS went to U of Chicago, Princeton grad school for anthropology, and is now the Chairperson of that department at a well-known Northeastern LAC.</p>

<p>Our male MLTS went to Harvard and now writes and performs songs for children. Sort of like a lesser-known Raffi.</p>

<p>You decide: Successful??</p>
