Karen Barber, Secretary

What is a song that reminds you of the town you lived in during your high school years and why?
Robbie Dupree’s Steal Away. As soon as that song comes on, I’m at a fair (there was a different fair every weekend in Wisconsin) walking with my boyfriend. He won this huge stuffed animal for me and kissed me for the first time! 

What song seemed to always be played at every school dance or pep assembly at your school?
Babe. I loved it!! It’s Styx!!! 

What is a song that reminds you of a fun moment from high school and what was that moment?
You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC I was teaching my friend to drive a stick shift. We ended up at a stop on a steep hill. We went backwards and stalled the car so much and we were laughing so hard that we both peed our pants. I took over driving while she aired out our pants out the window. 

Name a song that could best describe what you were like when you were younger?
Fine Young Cannibals’ She Drives Me Crazy. I pretty much drove everyone crazy!

What song did you blast in your car after a good day?
Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here

What is your all-time favorite song and why?
This is like asking me which is my favorite child! Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. This song is timeless. Musically the song is unmatched, and Freddy Mercury’s talent is really showcased. So until I think of another one, this is now my all-time favorite song.

Name your TOP FIVE favorite songs from high school.
Your Wildest Dreams by Moody Blues
Hold On and Magic Power by Triumph
 I Want To Come Over by Melissa Etheridge
Freewill by Rush 
You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC
