Another of my Memory Box finds was some sheet of paper with school pictures from every grade except fourth. I am AOK with that picture missing because that was by far my worst hair year. I distinctly remember being told on the playground that it looked like I had stuck my finger in a light socket.

Let’s review:

  • Grade 1: Cute
  • Grade 2: This hairdo combined with the frilly dress is passable
  • Grade 3: What is with the top? My bangs are iffy but overall this is fine
  • Grade 4: Missing, thank goodness
  • Grade 5: Side mini-ponytail with a scrunchy and a top featuring the world’s largest safety pins
  • Grade 6: Another side min-ponytail … but I remember that vest and I thought it was awesome
  • Grade 7: There is nothing to say except Wow
  • Grade 8: My bangs are fierce but at least I’ve almost grown out the awful perm from grade 7
