Body:	<i>After reading the previous “top 10 best memories”, I have concluded that Bill Richardson and I attended a completely different THS than the previous people. However, if you analyze the number of posters/participants in the topic compared to the total possible number, I must conclude that Bill’s and Elson’s experience was the majority experience. I know that I will take some heat for my top 10 memories (if I can get to 10) but I am sure that I hold the record for the most disciplinary action without being tossed out of school from grades K-12. So, what the heck. I am submitting my “top 10 “list in support of the masses which had a less than memorable experience at THS. #1 Seeing THS in my rear view mirror. I first submitted this comment to the 20 year reunion committee and the committee ceased all communication with me. When I contacted Larry Cannon via email about a possible memorial for Peter Staddon, his first response was to bring up the statement. He had been brooding on it for 20 years. #2 Being accused of cheating on the second semester Chemistry final by Mr. Wells. If you remember, it was a standardized test. After loafing the entire year with Cs, Mr. Wells claimed that I scored the highest in the school on the test and I must have cheated to achieve the score. I took the test in about 20 min. I laughed at him and walked out. #3 Miss Boyer predicting that with “my attitude”, I would be in prison before I was 25. Well, my Cornell Dean would agree that I still have an attitude but no prison yet. #4 Not having a clue who the young lady was, walking next to me in the Graduation procession. She was a complete stranger. Anybody want to admit that they walked next to me in the Graduation procession? #5 Giving the crowd below (with 3 others) the golden farewell shower from the cable car at Legend City all night party. The other three will remain nameless unless they want to confess. We heard later that other groups followed our farewell lead. #6 Gary Fish and I beating out over 50 other teams in the Plymouth Troubleshooting contest. We came in second overall and missed the trip to the National competition by a whisker. Uncle Ben Elkins from Ben’s THS speed shop was so excited he talked about it for 2 days. Ann Elkins actually spoke to me, commenting on how excited her dad was. They misspelled my name (Elson Fields) on the trophy given to THS and it remained that way. Such is life. #7 Tossing coins from the upper levels of the Gym when the dancing clowns and clownettes performed during the mandatory pep rallies. This was in protest to the mandatory attendance to an event which was viewed as a waste of time. There were numerous participants in this exercise (anybody else want to confess?). With the teachers patrolling, you had to be quick, sneaky and accurate to escape detection. #8-#10 My wife deleted the rest of my top 10 memories. </i> *
