I was on the Dean's List. The Dean's "other" list.

Seriously, my HS still has valedictorian and salutatorian. I know because friends of the family's daughters were V and S (and they are cousins!) I don't see what the meaning is in having 567 "tops" of the class. Everyone shows up, everyone gets a trophy. Sure, if they're stellar students there should be some designation but who in the heck does the speeches?

Having gone to several graduations, I vote for "nobody". Skip to the diplomas.
