Good ol' ECHS, home of the panthers. Whether you loved it or hated it, there is no denying these things had Elyria Catholic written all over them.
1. As a freshman, you walked your happy little self all the way up to the top of the student section, because you'd be caught by a senior if you tried sneaking your way down.
2. You got yelled at by Mr. Juguilon for PDA.
A kiss, a hug, maybe a high five? Not happening on his watch. Neither is forgetting to bring your Bible to class. Writing assignment.
3. Every homecoming, you looked forward to Mr. Wisnor's talk about exactly what not to do at the dance.
And to leave room for the Holy Spirit.
4. You ate chocolate chip cookies that were honestly probably just dough formed in a circle.
It was the most tragic thing when they actually started baking the cookies.
5. Mr. Cunningham definitely snipped you and your gum.
How he always caught people, that's something we'll never know.
6. The words "yes, Lord" were more than just words or lyrics, they were a complete musical number.
7. The best time of year was when senior senate got their Malley's order in.
Eventually you would have to go on hunts just to find who had the last pretzel bars.
8. Why walk your gym bag down to the locker room when you can just throw it over the ledge?
9. If you were a girl and it was hot (let's be real, that building was a sauna), your knee socks were rolled all the way down to your ankles.
10. Speaking of girls in uniform, if you got in trouble for your skirt being too short, it was more than likely because of Mrs. O'Brien.
11. The senior and junior boys gave a whole new meaning to the term "last man standing" during mass.
12. You got VERY good at marching to a beat over the years.
13. Other schools loved to hate you.
LOVED IT.
14. With that being said, it was a small school, so people got under your skin easily.
But as soon as someone from another school started a Twitter fight, everyone jumped in to defend a fellow panther.
15. Getting a senior parking spot in the near lot was the best thing since sliced bread.
Or maybe getting to wear colored shirts and sweaters?
16. You probably used someone else's planner more than your own to go to the bathroom.
17. You longed for the day you'd finally have Deac as your religion teacher.
18. OGT week was the best week of the year, unless you were a sophomore, of course.
19. You bought Krispy Kreme at every home football game.
If you didn't, there's no doubt your parents did.
