margaret and her high school classmate, gertrude had a “well-established mutual loathing.” (“she would repeatedly make passes at my boyfriend,” margaret says.) but of course, that’s no reason not to sign each other’s senior yearbooks. god, i love teenage girls. frenemies 4-eva!

All that’s missing on the end is “LYLAS.”

Is her name Gertrude, Sue (she writes “and im sue you feel the same”) or . . . Jerluide? She’s definitely dotting an “i” somewhere near the end of her signature!

What’s up with all of those stars? Is Gertrude really Bootsy Collins?

“Hi Gert, I hate how you hit on my man…wanna sign my yearbook? Cool, I wish you (all?) the best in life too.”

Give good old Gertie a break! Maybe Margie was to blame for the loathing…

I would be interested to know what the three dots after “interesting person” represent. As in, what was left out? Maybe “you are quite an interesting person; that fungus crawling up your back is fascinating!”

Margaret says that Gertrude always made passes at her (Margaret’s) boyfriend. What she doesn’t say is whether said boyfriend accepted these passes. hmmm….

Are you there, Gert? It’s me, Margaret.
Now that we have graduated, I would like to help you with guys, since you tried (and failed) so many times to steal my boyfriends. Repeat after me: “I must, I must, I must increase my bust”.

Gertie? I always wondered what my mother-in-law’s name was. I usually just call her “bitch” or “alcoholic bitch” for more formal occasions.
This note was very similar to the pre-wedding pep talk MIL gave me: “Out of all the people in the world for my son to marry, I never would have picked you. But I’m sure you wouldn’t have picked me either.” What was your first clue?

I can translate those three dots (elipses). They mean “Why the f have you asked me to sign your yearbook? Are you SO desperate for signatures in your yearbook that you would ask ME to sign it? Dear lord girl, it wasn’t me that was hitting on your boyfriend… that skanky boy thought that I wanted his ass every time I asked him to pass my assignment forward. Get over your pathetic self”

Sweet, man-stealing Gertie even took the time to sketch out some delightful little star graffiti for her dear friend Maggie. Though I would’ve gone for the hearts with the arrows through them, I commend her extra effort. I’m pretty sure high school girls invented passive aggression.

After reading these some of these comments I feel like I am watching “Mean Girls” all over again. LOL!
It’s semi-awesome.

This here’s a story about Mar-gar-et and Gertrude
Two young Sophomores with nothing but a bad mood
They’ve said it round-about, can’t hide their attitude
And here is what happened when they each signed a yearbook.
They headed down, to a get the ol’ hall pass
That’s where they ran into a guy from gym class
Margaret got a man by shakin’ her ass
Gertrude took her honey and run.
Go on, take her honey and run,
Go on take her honey and run…
Billy Mack was elected as the class Prez
You know he knows who’s a hottie, from his fat sis
He ain’t gonna let those two escape his clutches
He drives a little Beemer- real asshole!
Gertrude, whoa, what a thing to say,
Margaret wrote back at her the very next day
Each hates the other one, but
They can *almost* say
“I’m gonna miss you and your interesting ways…”
Singin’ –
Go on, take her honey and run,
Go on, take her honey and run…
