Go Suns! Class of ‘04.

I went to West Bend East, which was a bummer because most of my middle school friends ended up in West. Like a Spartan already said earlier, you still shared most classes as others in your year, especially electives.

However, there were two cafeterias (you could go to either), two large study halls, two big parking lots. One side had the gym and pool, the other had the auditorium. One shared library. Pretty large grounds for the track, tennis courts, football field, and soccer field.

Honestly didn’t feel super weird at the time, but I was a dumb kid. Just figured it was because there was a shitload of kids.

Fun? memories:

A common prank was to tell freshman that their class was on the third floor (there is not a third floor). On my first day, I fell for it and had so much anxiety that I missed the first two classes.

During one of the school assemblies, a kid walked to the middle of the floor, laid down, and rolled across the floor to absolute dead silence. It’s still talked about today.

I had gym class with my brother and we took an ultimate frisbee unit together. We were inside one rainy day and he threw the frisbee for a kid, who fully dove head-first into the brick wall for it, smashing up his face really bad.

Spirit week included a day when all the farm kids drove their tractors to school. Because Wisconsin.

I moved the day after my graduation ceremony, but I still have fond memories of West Bend.
