20. "Give Me A W!"... Bush Was A High-School Cheerleader
It seems Bush was quite a different person during his scholarly days - because he was actually a cheerleader at high school and then at university. While at Phillips Academy, an all-male boarding school in Andover, Massachusetts, he became head cheerleader... and loved nothing more than urging the sports teams on from the sidelines. It's somehow hard to imagine Bush standing there shouting "Go Phillips, Go!" - isn't it?
