That's right. Middle school. The only reason I even remembered that those yearbooks existed was because someone from back home is looking for a picture of a mural that used to be in the lobby of the school, and we thought that maybe there was a picture of it in a yearbook somewhere.
So I went digging, and I found two of them. One of them was from the 1981-82 school year, and one was from 1982-83. And yes, I totally realize that probably half of you people reading this were not even born yet. So shut up.
But if you do the math, you'll realize that I was in the 5th and 6th grades during those years.
I searched through page by page, looking for a shot of the mural, but it wasn't in there. Then I looked for my pictures. And because I have no shame, I now present them to you, in all of their glory...
5th grade |
6th grade, and my first pair of glasses. Wonder Woman glasses. Because I was cool. Or something. |
Now, if I can just find the one of me in the Strawberry Shortcake pajamas.....
I see Emily in the top picture, and Sarah in the bottom. Big time. But don't tell them I said that. I hope to still be considered your "cool" friend. :P
ReplyDeleteThe mural was painted over with a horrible melon color the summer before my 5th grade year so it won't be in any pictures from your yearbooks. I do remember it scared me though because it was basically the history of the world and there was a picture of the devil in it.
ReplyDeleteI totally see Emily in the top picture!
ReplyDeleteIt's cool to find old pictures of you.
I wish I had a couple I could show my son...
