This is a tough one… K-12 would be graduation. If we are talking about college level, then I would say the connections I was able to make with various professors through the years. I had a medical sociology professor who seemed to see more in me than I could see in myself, and her support and guidance truly improved my college success! –Cheryl Turner

Some of my favorite memories from high school include school plays, band trips and eating hot lunch. The “lunch ladies” at Aquinas High School at that time were women who had retired from jobs and just loved cooking and hanging out with us. Homemade cinnamon rolls, farmers in the community would donate beef, chicken, pork it was amazing. School lunch was the best!!!! Other favorite memories include me getting in trouble for shooting pigeons out of the school gym and taping a water pistol to the statute of St. Thomas Aquinas. A story for another day. –Paulette Sombke

Going to Friday night football games in high school. –Jamie Bahm

I loved going to the kitchen during the middle of the day for a "cough drop" - AKA Jolly Rancher with my friend Michelle. Her Aunt and my Mom ran the kitchen - so we got all the goodies - extra brownies, cookies, pear juice and CANDY when candy in school was a big NO NO MIND YOU - this was when all school food was made from scratch, so the baked goods were fresh, right outta the oven! –Denise Packard

After dear old Tarkio High School had taken it on the short end for 3 years at the hands of our archrivals from Rock Port, the Indians of Tarkio trounced the Blue Jays on their home turf 48 to 20 and in the process captured the Highway 275 conference title in football. A fiery-haired, lightning quick #28 led the Indians that cool October evening scoring 4 touchdowns, amassing over 300 yards total offense and grabbing an interception. Yea, that is a good memory. –Jeff Chambers
