The girl I beat out by a hair for Valedictorian is also the first person I ever saw wearing a red and gold USMC t-shirt. Our 3rd and 4th place grads both went to the United States Naval Academy. She was a math wiz and he was our All-State football halfback who had the bizarre ritual of having to throw-up before every football game. He was All-American in baseball at the Naval Academy. I am not sure what happened to our Valedictorian.
