School Pictures


Grade school photos from the 1950s and 60s are classic. Gary Larson (see above) had fun with them in The Pre-history of The Far Side. (I assume that is Gary, looking like a Far Sidean, middle row on the far right.)

The one below (click on it to see a larger version) is of my wife's first grade class (in Jacksonville, FL, early in The Sixties). She's fourth from left on the near side of the top table (her head replacing the teacher's right hand). She was an adorable child. I have often said that if I had known her then (when I was probably 12) I would have fallen in love on the spot.
