Okay, here is my high school graduation picture. It is 1966. I wanted to put in my sophomore class picture with the beehive and heavy makeup but I can't find it right now. When I do find it, I will post it because it is too funny. So for now, here I am at 17.

    I'll email a copy to you and you can post it and we will be twins. In fact, I will email it to everyone and everyone can post it and we will all be me. Oh, that is too scary. Cloning gone really wrong. LOL

    At our school we all wore
    At our school we all wore the same gown and the pearls for the pictures. The pictures were done just when school began at a local photography studio. They had the fake black gown (it's a top only) and the pearls. At least they didn't make us wear the mortar boards. I like that students now can go to any studio or submit their own photo and it reflects them. Seniors at the school I worked at would do band pictures if they were in the band, or the sport they were involved in, theater, etc or just a favorite picture. There were guidelines but it was pretty open. It really is a better representation of their school years. Our pictures all tended to look alike. Very formal but it wasn't us. I had a good friend that if you glanced at our pictures you couldn't tell who was who. But that was the time, very "lemmings to the sea". So I will represent us both. Of course, you are 50 feet tall and I was and am only 5 feet but that's okay.

    Must have been a popular look...
    Wouldn't it be neat if everyone posted their grad picture. We'd all look alike. Hummm...the only thing about my pic that is still true today...I'm still 5'1"
    The dimples are filled w/ fat and wrinkles now. I guess my school couldn't afford pearls.

    I second that!
    I totally agree with you Stef, it was fun and I loved it but I am extremely happy with where I am today. Take care my friend.

    Cynthia, I had the very same problem yesterday. Stef helped me. She sent me instructions and my problem was not "refreshing" the screen. The button is up in the tool bar on your internet window. From your info page, delete the old pic, add the new and then use the refresh button. If that doesn't help, I can copy and paste the info she sent to me.

    The year was 1972
    It was the fall semester and we had to have a graduation picture taken or we would not receive our diploma. So many students were against "the Establishment" that the college was having trouble putting enough pictures into the yearbook. And the college knew that the parents would NOT be happy, since they paid the tuition bills and wanted to see their kid's face as a graduate!! My jade heart necklace was a gift from a soldier serving in Thailand during the Vietnam war. He was fighting while I was protesting. I eventually married his brother. Do you suppose the birth control pills I was taking when this picture was made caused my breast cancer?

    Class of 1987
    I was going for "Madonna hair" back then, and I wouldn't be caught dead without my gold glitter mousse and my lavender eyeshadow.

    (although, apparently, I hadn't yet discovered eyebrow tweezers!)

    My girlfriend's 11-year-old son saw the picture yesterday and said I was "hot"!

    Shout-out to my fellow 80s chick!
    Libby, I would have *killed* back then for hair that feathered back like yours! And what is that furry thing you're wearing? -- I didn't have fur back then, I'm jealous!
