When we had picture day at school, they would have retakes a month later. When I stood in a line of kids who wanted retakes, they would look at their photos and say “What’s wrong with this? You don’t need a retake!.” When they got to me, they looked at my picture and said, “Oh yeah, you definitely need a retake, kid!”
“As most people know, I am a vampire, so I have no reflection. Every day, I paste a picture of someone else on the mirror.” Meat Loaf (1947-2022 as Marvin Lee Aday)
And the guys who thought they looked “way cool” by the fads of the day were hiding their yearbooks a few years later when fads changed. The fad when I was in high school was disco, so there are lots of John Travoltas in my yearbook (I was more the Richie Cunningham type). Looking back, a lot of the guys look like total dorks now. But most of the girls are still cute as ever. How did they do that?
My high school freshman yearbook photo was the best! I had forgotten, and it was taken AFTER my P.E. shower. I borrowed a shirt, tie, AND coat from my classmates & sat for the photo on a stool in my underwear. They were all teasing me … and the photographer captured me genuinely laughing with them all …!
my junior high graduation photo, I looked like I was graduating from elementary school… my senior high photo, I looked like I was graduating from junior high… I’m in my 60’s and got carded about a year ago when I was buying a 6 pack o’ beer… (got those genes from my dad- he got carded in his 60’s too!)

And then there were those of us without any pretensions — or illusions. Or self-delusions.

During the pandemic, every day was “Pajama Day” for lots of folk. Also known as “Dress Like a Cartoonist Day.”

And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say, “Come dance with me”
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn’t all it seems
At seventeen

The photographer always took the picture when you weren’t ready! That’s why there are so many retakes!
Plus,today, the cost of pictures is outrageous. All you have to do is scan one picture and make copies.! ☺️

We never did retakes when I was in school. If you looked bad, too bad for you.

The only one I liked, they got my name wrong beside it in the yearbook. Wait. Maybe that wasn’t me. :)

Now a-days, don’t wear anything medium or light green or you may be the invisible (or headless) student.
