May 27, 1992 - Wednesday - Senior Field Day

We did it! Today was the last day of high school forever! I'm
kinda having mixed emotions about the whole thing because I've been
having so much fun lately at Leto talking to Cindy and Jana (and
Nicole). Today during fourth period we Seniors were dismissed to
field day out on the football field. They gave us Leto squirt bottles
and fed us Sonny's barbecue. It was good. Just before, in third, a
bunch of Renee and Nicole's friends came into Ecology and I didn't
really feel like talking to them. Both Renee and Nicole came over at
different times to ask what I was doing but we didn't talk long. When
we left for field day Stacy and Ricky were trying to get me to hurry
up but I wouldn't, I waited and walked out with Jana, Cindy, Derek,
Minh, and Stephanie Barnhill. We went out and got us a good place on
the ground under the tent. Jana was saying how neat it was that we
were all sitting together at the very end. Jana, Cindy and I then
went and got food. Cindy didn't even trust me to pour BBQ sauce on
her plate because I'd probably poor it all over. Jana wasn't going to
get a drink because her hands were full but wonderful me carried one
for her. I loved walking by Nicole and all with Jana and Cindy,
laughing and having fun. Abby would come and talk to me every once
and a while but my attention was on Nicole. Part of the time she was
dancing under the other tent. They were playing "Baby Has Back" and I
made a rude comment about her to Cindy.

After a while I got bored. I was standing in the middle with
Jana, talking, and we just decided to get a picture together, when
"I've Got Friends In Low Places" by Garth came on. Nicole was about
ten feet away. The "white" crowd went wild and Nicole mouthed to me
that there is our song. So I went over to talk to (and laugh with)
her and told her that she was my lowest friend and to come get a
picture with me. Stacy first took one of Jana and me and I don't know
what she did, but Nicole was behind us and Stacy was cracking up. I
called her a bitch and told her to come get a picture so we hugged
and Stacy took two pictures.



Meanwhile a bunch of people were water fighting and I got shot
by Aaron Young. I went and filled my bottle with water and snuck up
on Nicole in the tent. REVENGE. I unscrewed the cap and dumped it on
her. I loved it!!! We walked up to the bathrooms and she dumped a
coke on me, then I got her a couple more times with full bottles of
water. We both ended up drenched. A couple of times I had to run her
down out in the field but it was worth it. Then I had Derek take a
picture of us soaked, it was funny. I told her to come find me later
and I took off to find Jana. I just realized that without Garth,
Nicole and I probably wouldn't have done anything but hug at the end.
Right now I'm listening to the new Garth CD that I bought Saturday,
it's awesome. I want to be a redneck up at Gainesville. Anyway Jana
was sitting by herself under the middle of the tent reading her
yearbook. I went up and sat with her and asked her why she didn't
leave, but she had to stay to take a couple Juniors home so I stayed
and talked with her awhile. Massena came up a little later so I got
up and shook his hand and talked with him for a few. After saying bye
to him I headed out to the volleyball net to see Stephanie and
Nicole. We talked but then Ms. Prill came on the loudspeaker saying
any Senior on the field in five minutes had to take exams. So we
walked out and Nicole walked with me to my car. We hugged for a long
time and she told me to call her (931-3307) (I'll never forget
again!!!). I ended up having a hell of a time thanks to Jana and
Nicole.

Yesterday when Andrea was signing my yearbook she said for a
long time I came over as a cocky asshole! so today while Nicole was
standing right by her (hiding because I was going to dump water on
her) I crouched down by Andrea and said "a cocky asshole, huh?". We
both laughed and it was funny listening to her try to explain
herself. Well here are my little farewells...

Dan -
Okay, even though I hate you now I guess I can grace you with my
good-bye wishes. I just want you to know that even though you're an
arrogant ego-maniac you can still be sweet at times. (Very few times,
but nontheless sweet)
Believe it or not, I had a lot of fun with you. Especially when
food was involved - which now that I think about it, food was almost
always involved. {smile}
Well, I wish you the best and I hope you have fun @ Florida or
USF. Wherever you go, I know you'll do great and so do you, I bet!
(J/K)
Keep in contact w/ me, okay. Love always, c/o

Dan -
You know you're jealous of all my pictures! Well - I can
definitely say it's been an experience. I', not sure what KIND of
experience, but...
I thought it would take forever to get you to talk to me + now I
can't get you to shut-up! But, seriously, I'm glad I got to know you
because, even though you can be a humongous pain in my butt, you're
an interesting guy! You've made Calculus and English a little more
interesting (that was hard to do!) I'm sure. I'll see you next year
because we're both going to an awesome school!! (GO GATORS!) I've
always been amazed at your ability to do so well in school when you
barely even pay attention! JERK! J/K! Well, good luck at Florida +
give me a call sometime - 884-4813 Love, Jana
Sierra

Dan,
Hey! This is from one of the smartest girls you'll ever
encounter! Just kiddin'! I had to be a bit of an egotist to even ask
to write in the book of the Valedictorian! Seriously, you really came
over as a cocky asshole for a long time but since around Class Capers
I've begun to appreciate you as a person. You are really bright but
please try to cut the sarcasm a little! I am happy for you and I know
you'll kick some ass in Math + Science + maybe even English up at UF!
Good luck in life. God bless. Love
Andrea Whalen

Hi Dan!
Well, I hope you get your situation all worked out. And I just
wanted to say I hate you + I can't believe you beat me and - just
jokes! Congratulations you nerd! Good luck with your Busch Gardens
thing (or is it doctor now?). UF rules! Love Cindy
(Biggest female nerd!)

Dan -
Well - I didn't really like you at first, but you're the kind of
person that grows on someone. I really do wish you the best of what
life has to offer you. (Even though you're going to U of F). Iknow
you'll succeed because you're just too SEXY oops - I mean smart. I'm
sorry I'm just too much of a loser to associate with you - so Best of
Luck! Sandy Babb

Dan (the Man) -
Well Dan the year's finally come to an end. The greatness that
we have achieved in this magnificent institution of learning shall
never be forgotten (BULLCRAP!) - You can uus that in your speech!
Just kidding! Just remember that the time we had at Leto was a blast!
Don't forget the great Physics class, the thrilling and evermoving
Calculus class, and last but not least the everchanging FOOD PREP.
Have fun at Busch Gardens (get fired!) and Larry's still rules.
GO GATORS! Minh Le
P.S. Don't worry
about the dissension!

Dan (Man) Skinner
Hey you're pretty studly this year. I'm glad I got to know you
but the year has ended. We had fun at Senior skip day playing
volleyball. Hey I'm working at Busch Gardens, actually I'm going to
head the ride operations, but you can still hang out with me there.
You're the big #1 and I hope you don't have a boring speech and maybe
you won't trip walking up the stairs. Have fun this summer.
Even studlier than Minh,
David Rauscher

Dear Dan!
I am really glad I got to know you this year. You are actually a
pretty nice guy. Too bad you took my first place {smile}. I have
always been pretty straightforward. So if I said anything rude to
you.........REMEMBER IT. hee hee hee! I really do wonder what you are
going to be like in 20 years. Please be someone important just so
that little old me can say I knew him back then (or something like
that). Love Carol P.S. keep in touch!
Come back for the reunion!

Dan,
Hey pansy... oops sorry, that's Dave that is a pansy, you're the
valedictorian that says everyone is lazy! You're damn right, 'cause I
am. Food Prep, Physics, Hop's computer at lunch... everything's been
fun. I wish you good luck at U of F even though I'll probably see you
since I'll be going there too! Best of luck Bud-dy
Derek Maddux

Mr. Daniel Skinner -
I hope your school year is as good as my summer is going to be
- HAD FUN in German - Thanks for the banner help - GOOD LUCK
Love,
Brooke

and so on... I actually got Brooke to sign my yearbook. We talked a
couple times today about her love of poles and we said goodbye in the
parking lot at the end. I was sort of shocked at Sandy's letter. The
first time I read it was when I was writing this. How funny. I'm
going to miss everyone so much. We didn't cry today but a lot of us
wanted to.

At Busch I've been talking to a girl named Kimmeth. She's really
nice and she's caught me looking at her quite a few times. She's a
little bit older and I don't know if I have any real chance with her
but she may turn out to be a really good friend. We'll just have to
wait and see. I want to call Nicole. Garth Brook's songs describe
life so perfectly. I've never had so much to lose.
