> My High School seemed to be about populatiry, but the populare kids were also the smart kids, or the artistic kids. When I was a sophmore the senior classes Saluditorian was class president, lead Trumpet, Captain of the X-Country team, the fastes distance runner in Track, the best actor in the Drama Class, one of the most popular guys in the whole school, and an all around cool guy. Saranac Lake High School was just a neat place. It produces Rennisanse Students.
