The Way We Were Wednesday - June 1973



Here I am all dressed up in 1973.  Middle School graduation.  A navy blazer, with those super wide lapels, I fell in love with it, and bought it myself.  I still have the pin, it was a school pin, the chain connects the school initials with my graduation year.  The velvet bow tie is long gone.  To much hair on top. The sun in my eyes.  I grew into the nose.  If I had known then, what I know now. 

What have you had since you were in school?

  1. Well, I've got my diploma. And my high school class ring. A book or two. Oh, and one book, some technical electrical tome, in which I cut a hole the size of a pack of cigarettes. I laugh every time I see it. The cigarettes are long gone, but I kept the book.

  7. HS yearbooks, a grammar textbook (not stolen, we had to buy them), a paperback copy of To Kill a Mockingbird. My diploma may be around somewhere. I have lots of photographs, too. One is of me in my Jr High school graduation dress--ugly glasses, ugly hair, nice dress and shoes.

  8. Graduated high school in 1974. I've kept my diploma, yearbooks an old paperback copy of The Making of Star Trek (stolen from the school library, I was broke.). Most importantly I still have Balder Half, he's my treasure.

    1. I hope we never see lapals like that again. I don't have any clothes from that era. I have one a couple from the early 90's, one I bought in London in May of 1990. Hard to believe it is 30 years old.
