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.
Finally, we've come to the most important subset of the 266 graduating seniors (give or take a few who didn't make it in the yearbook) -- the ones that roll off the tongue just like in the alphabet song: the L-M-N-O-P kids. Admittedly, I think of them as the most important because they are the ones most likely to have been in my homerooms over the year (as they were arranged alphabetically). Speaking of me, you may notice that I'm actually on these pages but I'm not properly placed in alphabetical order AND I'm in a place that was just border on similar layouts. Due to the timing of when I ran away from home in my senior year of high school, I didn't have traditional senior photos but I was able to get an Olan Mills package at the last minute and I was able to use my connections with the yearbook crew to squeeze me in close to where I should have been. It pays to have friends in high places.
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.
