That’s right, big hair, zits and everything. I wanna see former football hunks, cheerleaders, junior geeks. So dig out those old pictures, and relive the horror of High School. To get things started, here’s my impersonation of a [cocker spaniel.](http://auction1.inetu.net/member/kathysq/pics/hs.jpg) ---

This isn’t a very good picture (it’s a digital picture of a professional photograph), but here’s my [graduation picture](http://www.angelfire.com/my/abcproject/graduation.jpg), from about two years ago. (I was a band nerd, by the way. Waitaminute!! I still am!!) ---

[Here I am](http://groups.msn.com/FairyChatMom/me.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=5), 31 years ago. I spent all night in curlers and loaded on the hairspray to get my hair to look like that. Ten minutes after the photo was taken, my locks were back to their usual limp, bedraggled state. Doggone retouchers removed all my moles, er, beauty marks! ---

It appears that Angelfire is blocking direct access to my picture. Well, here’s the URL: [http://www.angelfire.com/my/abcproject/graduation.jpg](http://www.angelfire.com/my/abcproject/graduation.jpg) You’ll have to copy and paste it. Angelfire has slowly been turning into GeoCities over the years… ---

Anybody seen my[Barry Manilow](http://www.geocities.com/shannen_1973/punk) albums? [sub]Surprisingly, my attitude hasn’t gotten much better over the last 20 some years…[/sub] Sorry, I don’t have any “school” pictures, you can probably guess why. ---

Someone else can create the High School website. Mine have a tendency to turn…smutty 🙂 Besides, I think nekkid high school pictures might get us all in trouble. ---

Opal, are you sure that isn’t a still from the _Luck Star_ video? [Ever wonder what’d happen if Elvis and a professional hocky player had a kid?](http://www.fathom.org/inky/inky.jpg) ((sigh)) My folks always promised me I’d grow out of my gawkey phase. I’m giving it just ten more years and then I’m resigning myself to it. ---

Over my dead body would any high school picture be posted of me ANYWHERE! Interestingly, I had a similar hairstyle to Opal’s, but she is much prettier. Calliope - love the hairstyle. I could never get my hair to do ‘noodles’! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-wanna-see-high-school-pictures/117045.md?page=2)
