Sadly, I really don't have any pix of me~ when I was 20 we had a housefire, and we lost everything.....I didn't realize until recently how much I miss the pictures of my family.

Sigh,
Chen♥

And that is my face on the 50'poster~ one of my friends superimposed my face on it!

Aw that is sad Chen. I
Aw that is sad Chen. I can't believe that noone has taken a pic of you in all of these years though. There has to be one somewhere. lol

That's ok. And, sorry you lost your pics when you were 20. Hopefully, you, your family and friends have taken some since then. Pictures are priceless.

Moopy, what a great picture. I would have recognizd you anywhere, and you still are just as beautiful. Isn't it fun to look back and see what we were, and to look in the mirror and see what we are. Time definitely has been good to you. Hugs, Judy

Tat ♥
That is a great picture!

Love, Jeanne ♥

Moopy,
He was probably just blown away by the prettiest girl at Lawrence County High School. I don't think you look old at all, just lovely. My senior picture is one of the few that I don't look 12 years old in. I think it is the clothing that helped. I used to be able to go to the movies at the kiddies price until I was in my twenties. Of course, the flip side is having to show ID for everything. I was even asked for my ID when I was pregnant with Denise and I was 27 and extremely pregnant. Then I don't know, just when I was loving the young thing, wham my age caught up to me. Hardly seems fair. Your beautiful smile has not changed at all over the years. Still just as pretty as ever.

High School Years
Thank you, dear Creampuff and Stef. I feel like the kid sister who's just won approval from her greatly admired big sisters. My sister Jackie left for TN today, and y'all make me feel less lonely tonight. Big sisters are found in many places.

You know, Judy, the story about your tears is so like you and Stef: whatever fear or stress or sadness darkens your lives, you move through it into the sunlight. Like the tears that are erased with makeup, and replaced with a luminous smile.

ID requests at 27 and pregnant?? Stef, you can't claim motherhood aged you. Denise and the kids are still keeping you young!

Looking forward to more photos, and maybe even more memories. Thanks again, ladies.

Moopy,
from the era of Freebird (yep, the Lynard Skynard song that lasts...forever)

p.s.
Jeanne, you do look like Farrah with your long blonde hair. Always our blonde beauty, you probably broke a few hearts, hmm?

You are so cute. I
Lynn

You are so cute. I think that on the color photos they did some touch up but it was mostly color in the cheeks. You do have the prettiest eyes and gorgeous hair.

Mimi,
I knew you were close in age to my daughter but I didn't realize how close. She graduated in 1993. Find a picture so we can see you.

Stef

Senior Photos and Memories
Everyone, I love your photos and recollections. Stef, you remind me of my sister Jackie. Very classy with your pearls. Cynthia, you wore your nurses' uniform proudly, just as you should; I hope you will keep it displayed for a little while. I hope everyone will. Lynn, you ARE the Breck girl. Wow. Judy, you are all Southern grace and beauty. And Tash, I'm looking forward to seeing you circa 1980s.

Thanks to TJ for her great idea with the photos. Now, where is she hiding? Behind a beehive?

Okay, this really dates me....guess I am the oldest one on the board. My 1962 graduation picture was so "60's", and was just like everyone else in the class. All were draped in the same blue netting, and all had the same hairstyle. Guess we were a generation of copy cats. What memories. (Just remember this was the age before hairspray, so in the south, you slept in rollers, and then hurried to school as fast as you could before your hair drooped. What a hoot.) Hugs. Judy

GLAMOROUS
it's all that comes to mind

I'm always 1 step behind right now
Seems like I just finally got my baby pic up. I'm trying to find a high-school picture. Haven't gone through all my stuff since I moved so can't find my photo album. Soon as I do, I'll scan one. Love looking at all the ones posted. We are a fine bunch of gals, even in our youth! Lola

You look great on that car! And, I love the car too! Those were the days of the "muscle cars". lol

Love, Jeanne ♥

Muscle cars

Hugs,

Mimi
Did you use safety pins to peg those jeans as tight as could be? Some of the jeans had zippers at the cuffs. And I remember that Guess jeans were the ones to have. Denise has one picture with the pumped up bangs, but her hair was so fine and thin that it just didn't work so she gave it up. And she was told that if she tried to perm her hair it would break and fall out. She did crimp it though. Her hair was very straight until high school and then it developed major waves and curl. It still is. And her best friends hair went into major curl. It was like nature gave her the perfect perm for the time. Now she uses a straightener to get rid of the curl. And have you seen that the pegged are back in. Do you think the foot high pumped bangs will follow. So funny. I hope you find a picture soon. I'll see if I can find Denise's and post it to my expressions. She'll hate me for it cause she hates that picture.
Stef

Pegged jeans
LOL. No, I didn't use a safety pin. We had this method where we would fold the cuff over to the side and then up -- practically cutting off circulation to the leg. Of course half the time one cuff would become undone and then you would be lopsided. I haven't seen that this look is back! I will definitely NOT be stylin' this time. As for the high bangs, god forbid! Do post a pic. of your daughter, Stef!
