Let's see some high school pics!

^^I cannot even begin to imagine that I could do any of the stunts now that I did then in 1975-1977!^^ Well, okay, if EMS is on standby and I don't cause too many tsunamis when I land after a very bad back spring.
 
I'd always thought this was weird, but even more so after seeing everybody else's super photos- my high school didn't do individual portraits, only class photos for the yearbook; no senior portraits either- we had a school photographer who took 4 'proofs,' and students/parents picked the one they wanted for the yearbook. We didn't get any copies for ourselves. And the proofs were taken in 'nature' settings- like the schoolyard. So I don't have a photo from my school to contribute to this thread. :(
 
Soon after high school

maybe it's not the years
maybe it's the events in those years...
 
It is great to look back on photos from our youthful days. I bet most of us at the time could only see our own flaws, never realising how attractive we were because of our youthfulness..

The clear eyes, the straight limbs and the fresh skin must inevitably decay but we can still see echoes of our younger selves in the mirror today.

The years have added to us as they have taken away. I now have my life's companion by my side as well as grown children and grandchildren, and a wealth of life experiences to compensate for my lost youth. I also have wisdom to appreciate what I have gained.

We got individual photos for our families , which they had to pay for) but not for any school year book.... but they were so terrible most people burned theirs, including me..
