What did you look like in high school?

I don’t have my senior picture. I threw my yearbook away many years ago.

This picture was taken by my physics teacher, very early in 1997. I was a Junior at the time. We were doing something with static electricity which is why I had a balloon stuck to my chest.

Yes my pupils are also huge, but not for the same reason Hal’s are huge I’m sure. I just naturally have massive pupils.

I had saved up about a month worth of paychecks and for my birthday (Jan’97) I treated myself to contact lenses and a haircut (about 15" gone). The next day, my teacher took this picture.

If I lost about 70 pounds, I’d look pretty damn close to this still.

I happen to have my senior year book picture already stored online, so here. That’s 1996 hair for you, right there.

Senior Picture, 1986: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/WShippsBush/1986.jpg

This is me, out of focus and wearing a Boilermakers baseball cap at 15:

All my hair tucked under the cap, it was about shoulderblade length and blonde.

That’s a bitchin’ top, Katriona. I used to have one very similar to it!

I looked remarkably like Eric Forman from That 70s Show. Taller, darker hair, but hairstyle, clothes, and girlfriend all looked very similar.

This appears to be the only picture of me from high school where I’m not making some sort of stupid face. Not my senior picture, but I believe it’s from senior year, so it counts.

The picture is from 2005, btw. Not a long time ago, but I do think I look noticeably younger.

The guy standing with the wisp o’ mustache looks just like a I guy I went to high school with around that time…that plus the KOME sticker on your wall, you weren’t at Berkeley High School by any chance?

Behold: me in December 1994, my senior year in high school. This was among the least memorable hair colors of the time, but didn’t get pictures of most of them.

Just one more of millions of tragic failures at attempted 'stache in that time period: JRDelirious, Class of 79.:o

Leif Garret, that’s what.

I don’t want to link to Facebook and don’t have a clue at the moment how else to do it.

I’m still a sucker for anything vaguely plaid or paisley. Finding out both my parents’ families are Scottish sure explained a lot!

He was (and probably still is) 6’6".
Oh and FWIW, all of that was 1987.

Nope, Independence HS in San Jose.

Did you encounter a fountain of youth? You look oldest in the age 13 pic.

As for me–I hate my senior picture, and I can’t seem to find the ones I do like. And, anyways, I don’t compare to most of y’all.

As a mom of a son who got the “Somebody help me get my hair out of my eyes so I can see the music” award in his high school orchestra, let me tell you it is called “Pick your battles”. Not worth fighting over.

Senior Photo, 1995

My, you’re lovely and not at all what I expected.

This is my entire school picture history. The pics on the top row are Graduation pic, Senior portrait, 2 other portraits taken the same day as senior pics, then my kindergarten pic. The 2nd row starts 1st grade then they go in order to 11th grade, and the last 2 pics are my Jr and Sr prom. I had a date both years, but my mom wanted photos with and without him in them.

My favorite ones are the Senior Environmental taken in May of 1989 and my Kindergarten pic circa 1976.

I am more or less your contemporary ('73 grad).

I would sooo have tapped that.

I’ll have to scramble around to see if I have any time-frame-appropriate photos.
