The scan isn’t all that great, but here I am in 1992 (Senior year book picture) a lot younger, and a hell of a lot thinner. [me](http://img179.imageshack.us/i/35749987.png/)

Y’all have a zebra as a mascot? Dang! I am so jealous! That’s a way cool mascot!

Ya, not just the Zebras, but the \*Fighting \*Zebras. Because, y’know, normal Zebras just run away and hope not to get slaughtered. 😃 I believe that we’re the only high school in the country with a Zebra as a mascot.

I gotta scan all my old pics one day. Here’s me at age 20 in 1988:

I look pretty much the same, except for the extra weight and that the part in my hair moved 4 inches to the right.

One of my senior portraits, '87 grad. [Damn, what an awful perm.](http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=4173622&op=1&o=global&view=global&subj=681473859&id=681473859) Braces came off six days before graduation. _sigh_

I like the Zebra and then the bar code beneath. Why is the second picture taken in what looks like a very cheap motel?

Because it was. 😃 I had my then boyfriend fly in for my graduation party and he took the picture as I was about to get ready to go.  
I think that bar code was for getting lunches and checking out library books. Hard to remember since I never got school lunch. I definitely had that ID number memorized since we used it for everything, though.

I don’t have my senior picture scanned, but here is one taken the summer after high school, sometime in 2004.
