How Did We Celebrate the End of School in 2001? Well, although it has been a trying year for the seniors of 2021, they made it. Seeing graduation ceremonies and parties over the weekend and this week has made me smile. The seniors of this year made it through a pandemic, two hurricanes, a freeze, and then a flood just to sprinkle on top of it all. I am a proud member of the Barbe High School class of 2001. I can remember back in my days at Dolby Elementary, we would go to the library and use a bulletin board system to communicate with another class in Dallas, Texas. Granted, that type of communication for a nerd like me was already amazing, but do you know how futuristic it was to hear our username for the system was Classof2001? I just thought the year 2001 just sounded so cool.
