Row 6, 5 over ME in 1960 you can go to www.classmates. com and find your year book. I did. And wish I had not, but then it is what it is.. or WAS! no wonder I grew up insecure, there was a reason.
2n page 4th row, last pic Me 1961...……… I hated school from middle of 9th grade to graduating. I was so bashful I would not eat in the cafeteria unless my best friend Madeline was there. I would sit out in the logia and wait without food. I had nightmares, bad ones about school.. No dates, no boy friends, no parties or proms... I was shocked to see all the people I had forgotten but remembered as soon as I saw there photos. 288 in our class..
This is my friend Madeline, who saved my life in high school, by being my best friend. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Madeline, I am one month behind you. Madeline is in the middle of 2nd row... Friends since January 1959, which is when we met... we were born one month apart, only a few neighborhoods apart, in Savannah, in 1944 and did not meet until 1959..

You were so blessed to have each other. High school is HARD. I still have nightmares about it. I loved learning, but school ruined it for me.

Row 7:5 is a bloke... so I am settling for row 6 instead... I have very limited memories of school days - other than my immediate 'gang of five'. Yearbooks weren't a thing in the UK when I was at school. Thanks be! There were the end-of-year photoshoots, but most of those have been successfully removed from the albums now &*> YAM xx
I was so very bashful in school too. I'm thankful to a hand-full of true friends who helped me thru those days. I've looked at this site too and it is amazing how the yearbook jogs your memory.
High School can be such a difficult time. I was very quiet in school but I had a group of friends who got me through. If I didn't have one of them around though I usually sat by myself.
$99 for a yearbook is a bit crazy.
Love the high school year book photos. I was shy in school too, thankful for a few good friends. Happy Birthday to Madeline. Enjoy your day!
We don't have those high school year books in the UK. I think it would be quite good to look back and be reminded of other class mates as well as best friends. I had a couple of good friends that made school life more fun. It was an academic school for girls and it could have been stressful if I had not fitted in. I've never been back to reunions. I just wanted to get on with life after school days. I made other friends in the workplace and also met my future husband.
Not sure why you were shy, you were a stunner.

Nice to see the pics. I don't think i will get a chance to view our batch and older batch photos.
Sweet old memories:)
What fun and such memories. I still have my high school year books.
Looking back through them I'm starting to see hair styles and clothes
returning into favor 50 years later. LOL
thanks for sharing

Well that was fun to see all the yearbook pics. I hated school too. I was asking the youngest in my class and wish my parents had kept me back a year longer. I did ok, but always felt the struggle. We 'country kids' were never really accepted by the city kids when the country schools consolidated. Long bus rides, snobby classmates, no good memories. Glad you had your best friend!
My word, how I can empathize: Just substitute Myra and Liz for Sandra and Madeline. I've had some rough patches in life, but nothing compares to junior high and high school. I could hardly wait to escape. Isn't it interesting, so many years later to discover others who felt the same way?
We've come a long way, baby …. yeay, us!
Thanks for giving me a theme for my next Wednesday's blog on Black/White Memories!
Interesting to look back at classmates in the yearbooks. My brother told me about that site. I am so glad you and Madeline were best friends. I remember my best friends Jean and Becky. We sang in a trio.
I hate to hear you saying that about yourself. You were beautiful. It was the time and how we looked. I am glad you had a friend like her. Do you talk to her or email her now? Some people really hated high school - my husband did - I loved it. I guess it was something you had to go thru - once out - it never mattered again.

I really didn't mind high school. There was a great group of friends from our church youth group that all went to the same school.
Band gave me another great outlet for friendships.
I sure wouldn't want to return to those times and would definitely not want to be in high school in these times.
Ive got all my yearbooks and do enjoy going through them now and then.
Incedentially, I think you are very lovely and your senior photo is beautiful.
Aaaahhhh...memories! I have some wonderful memories from highschool...I also have some horrid ones!
I am so happy to have grown up and figured out that I really am okay! I'm comfortable in my own skin now, and I can tell that you are too!
I had a best friend too, and she helped me so much. I remember her birthday every year just like you remember Madeline's. She lives in NYC, and we're very different from each other now... but we have our past in common.
Thanks for a thought-provoking post!
Fun seeing your photo. I still have all of my yearbooks. Happy Birthday to Madeline!
Oh, Sandra, I was so painfully shy, too...like you say from about 9th grade through high school. I absolutely hated to have to get up in front of class. And thank God I got to eat lunch with my best friend.
