xpost yeah, ontario used ot have 5 years of high school

cruel

These are all amazing!!! Jhoshea - I would def buy a book of those pics.

Ned, you look like a model in that picture. Also, didn't teachers yell at you for having your nose buried in some novel during their classes?

Ned looks way more clean cut than I think he should have.

In a word, no. This is because I was mostly acing the classes without even trying. My parents told me later that apparently at least one of my history instructors -- who noted that I was usually just reading books where I was sitting in class (in the front row, at that) -- kept trying to trip me up by asking questions about the current subjects. Allegedly I would look up, give the answer and then go back to my reading. I honestly don't remember that at all -- just that I read a lot!

I think if Roxy and I went to the same high school, I would've had a crush on her, for sure.

I think Laurel 94 is judging me. I can feel her stare.

Wow, that's great, Ned.

Sheesh, sounds like you had cool teachers.

Aw Jessie and Laurel!!

Haha the photog was like "LOOK STARRY EYED, PRETEND THE BOY YOU LIKE IS RIGHT BEHIND ME" and I distinctly recall being annoyed. That's the look that resulted.

church youth group meeting?

haha zing, but no, worse!

laurel's look = "fuck you and your bullshit photography"

will m. = FIELD TRIP?

Is there a thread for all the Hilarious things that the school photographers would say to coax smiles?

Sheesh, sounds like you had cool teachers.

Generally yeah! (One of them let me work on an independent study project during 10th grade English class for half the year -- on Tolkien, unsurpisingly -- while another did similar by saying, "I think you might like this book" and assigning it to me as a similar independent study project in 11th grade. Book in question: Gravity's Rainbow.)

will m. = FIELD TRIP?

much much more cringeworthy. hint: it was a special-interest after-school club

I'm ruling out D&D/Magic: The Gathering because I think there's a girl in the background.

xp Does it have to do with that duck or whatever that's on the kid's t-shirt next to you?

xp, obv but omg jhoshea

pokemon then

once a guy asked me if I played Magic in high school and after I said no, he replied, "Yeah, even the nerdiest girls aren't nerdy enough for Magic."

laurel's look = "fuck you and your bullshit photography"

:)

Or, I have just asked her to prom, and she's not even going to dignify that foolishness with a response.

High school scarred me.

Will: quiz bowl?

^^^I WAS IN QUIZ BOWL.

i play M:TG

Me a few years earlier:

xp I assumed people who asked me out were setting me up for an elaborate public joke and I turned them all down.

QUIZ/KNOWLEDGE BOWL VETERANS UNITE! xxpost

I AM SO JEALOUS OF TEH QUIZBOWL

laurel ever so slightly bershon in the first one

b/c of this thread I emailed my parents asking for scans of hs/quiz bowl/etc pics

xposts TO THE I LOVE QUIZ BOWL BOARD

I think that makes you the most desirable woman alive, bell_labs. xxxp

oh i am just going to give it away: i was at an anime club. wow embarrassing.

some kids tried to hook me into magic the gathering, but as a kid who NEVER had money, i just got their cast off cards, i think i only ever paid $2 total for my cards, and was whupped over and over until i quit one day and never looked back.

however i definitely played D&D! for WAAAAAYYYY too long (read: until i moved to montreal abt 2 years ago). but that is NOT embarrasssing becuase it was basically a bunch of great dudes hanging out and occasionally playing games but mostly making funny jokes.

MANY XXXXXXPOSTS it was not quiz bowl, they didn't havei t in Canada, BUT we had Reach For The Top which is the same tihng, i think, and I was on that team!!!!!

what is quiz bowl?

Academic Decathlon veterans unite. (We won the San Diego championship in my junior year.)

oh man this calls for a thread

Jessie, you are the gorj in hs, those are some sweet cheekbones.

Laurel, you kinda remind me of Nona Mecklenberg (sp?) in that first pic.
