One of my favorite HS stories is the time that some students stole a chunk of potassium from the Chemistry lab.
It had been a rainy day and the perpetrators enjoyed throwing little chunks of the potassium in the rain puddles during lunch time. Of course, the reaction was a small explosion. When the lunch bell signaled that it was time to report to our next class, the perpetrators were at a loss as what to do with the remaining piece of potassium.
The best idea they could come up with was to get rid of it was flushing it down the toilet. This they did. It blew the toilet off the wall and the main floor outside the restroom was immediately flooded.

I also have my French beret from Mr. Jay Taggert's French club and I also still have my Pep Club red sweater and my class ring.
Jerry has his FFA jacket and class ring.
