This month ... it's all about the top 30 best of the yearbook photos (see rules below) -- because our lives were captured and frozen in time circa mid 1989, and seeing as how our own class motto said that we should "live each day so that you will neither be afraid of tomorrow nor ashamed of yesterday", it seems like the perfect opportunity to reflect on the three decades that have passed, by remembering from whence we came.
Lookit -- all these young people walking around thinking they're so "woke". I just wanted to document that we *started* the whole "woke" thing. It was our class who realized that having a "slave auction" in 1989 was probably not the right message to be sending -- so we kept the tradition BUT got it renamed to the more innocuous "buy a senior day". Although it looks like we kind of had our cake and ate it too what with how SLAVE DAY still made it onto a prominent page in the yearbook. Progress takes baby steps sometimes ... and y'all in our class were more PC than you may have realized ...
RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST: When it comes to the Facebook version of this series, I promise to only tag those who reach out to me to be tagged, because that seems fair. Clearly there's no way I can feature everything and every body and every group, so I'll pick and choose what I consider to be the best according to me -- which shouldn't stop you from chiming in with your own "best of" shots. It's my full intent to continue to post unless/until someone's lawyer sends me a "cease and desist" letter (and I'm not sharing my address so that shouldn't happen), and although I'd love to offer up appropriate photo credits where applicable, I'm afraid that information isn't readily available.
