45 Years Ago

Yesterday marked the 45th anniversary of my high school graduation. Remember those wonderful pictures of you that are tucked away in your yearbook? When you look at them, do you cringe to see how young you were at the time, or do you laugh at the hair styles everybody wore back then and the clothes that were all the fashion.
I don't know where MY year book is at the moment, but my sister gave me my portion of the pictures from my parents and one of the things she gave me was my late brother's yearbook. I was a senior that year.
I was so not happy with the hair style for this picture. My mom did my hair back then and she decided to give me a style I never wore before or after this picture was taken.
It's not the greatest photo, but it's definitely a yearbook photo. Isn't it great?
Do you still have your yearbook? Have you looked at it lately? Or is it tucked away in the corner of your house somewhere untouched since you brought it home with everybody's good wishes for your future in it. When was the last time you looked at what anyone wrote. I'd look at those, but it isn't my yearbook. I'm sure I'll run into it as I get the packing done for the house.
Thanks for reading.

It's comical to see the hairstyles that were all the rage back then along with the dress fashions, it was quite a time in fashion history.

My yearbook has been swallowed up somewhere. I do remember that I wore my hair the same way I do now—straight, long, and parted in the middle. Some time between then and now, a whole lot of gray has crept in, though.
Oh... they had us take our glasses off. So I look, well, blind in my picture. ARGH. Maybe the yearbook had a little help disappearing.

Thanks, but that hairstyle was a once in a lifetime style. Never wore it before or since. I don't and never could wear bangs. My mother went to a lot of work to get those bangs. My hair never laid down, so bangs were out of the question. I still don't wear them, no, those are not bangs in my profile picture.
The hairstyles and fashions back then are hilarious to look at now. There's no mistaking the 70's look.

Thank you, but I really hate that hairstyle. I did my best in school.

@Jessicalynnt I'm sorry. I never had a college one, just high school.

I could never be bothered with this sort of thing when I was younger!

@just4him OH NO I do not really like to have my photo taken. My photos should be censored we don't want to give people nightmares!

Isn't it fun to take a trip down memory lane as you page through it?

It was 42 years ago yesterday that I graduated high school and my yearbook is tucked in a box somewhere and reading this brought back memories of that era such as mini skirts (which I wasn't allow to wear) but that fad did finally allow when I was in the 9th grade girls to be able to wear pants to school instead of always skirts or dresses.

I was a senior when they finally allowed us to wear pant suits. I don't think we could wear jeans yet. I remember they used the ruler on us in junior high - now middle school - to make certain our skirts were regulation length and no shorter. If they were shorter they were sent home to change.
