We called kissing girls, "scamming."

"Did you scam with anyone this weekend?" Was the kind of question we asked each other. Kissing girls was all the rage.

Also, flannel. When I was in high school it was peak "grunge" era and the hallways were a sea of flannel. Then, as I was leaving high school it was hippies. Everyone was starting to wear hemp necklaces and such.

Field parties. We had giant bonfires. People juggled hot-coals and I would play my guitar for the girls. Violent femmes songs galore. I would figure out any song a girl wanted, if only to be able to report on monday that I had "scammed."

Girls, Beer, Bonfires, Guitars - that was my high school experience.
