Yes… it’s ME… *sigh*
Beth a.k.a. Seedsower has put out a call for graduation pictures, and like any really smart person, when Beth tells me to do something I DO IT!
SO here I am before I got my first real beard and mustache.
Yes… I was an artist hippy chic. Who can say their really surprised?
This was supposed to be the picture that went in the year book,
but the teacher said it looked like my head belonged in the Thanksgiving Day parade
She picked out a different picture from the photographer,
Of course I hated it, but she didn’t care.
Yeah, she wasn’t my favorite teacher.
If you have a graduation picture that you don’t mind sharing, post it and send Seedsower a message so she can link you.
Do any of you hold something against one of your teachers from the past?

Cool picture and hairstyle!
Great pictures of you! I also like your hair!:pleased;
Why did the teacher get to decide which picture went in the eyarbook, and not you?
I can’t think of anything any of my teachers had done that I hold against them, but if one kept me from putting the picture of me that I wanted to into the yearbook, I certainly would hold that against them.
do I hold a grudge? oh h*** yeah!
sister mary-de sade-straight-from-the-9th-circle-of-hell that taught kindergarten. woman totally maimed my little soul by the age of 5.
I still love nuns tho.
and I love those pics of you…so sweet.
Oh, what a shame that I don’t have a scanner hooked up and 1986 was well before the era of digital photography. Guess you’ll just have to wait to see MY big ole ’80′s hair!! LOL
Ya do look happy hippie comfy! And the missing moustache is the first thing to come to mind lol Only the one teacher, she was an idiot. Just seemed wrong having an imbecile teaching advanced English literature. Mrs Mullins was such a waste!
@Shirlann - I bet ABD Has one at work… awww you need to scan in those precious photos anyway! lol
Wow! You are gorgeous! Stupid teacher
Happy Wednesday!
Thanksgiving day parade? I don’t get it..
I love the pics.. you’re gorgeous!
Haha.. what are you wearing??? I gotta say though, that Chip ‘n Pepper back drop is fabulous!
I had an english teacher that I hated so much I quit school – I had my grade 12 diploma already, but I didn’t continue with 13…
I like your pics! Your hair is lovely!
*HUGS*
Great pictures! If I had any of my old photos from home I would put up some 80 elementrary school photos. Alas they are in storage in the states. That was a terrible thing for your teacher to say! And who is she to decide what looks like it should be in the Thanksgiving Day parade. What a jerk.
Great photos!
Hhmmmmm…I was usually teacher’s pet ((laughing)) right up to the (3) times I dropped out of high school ((laughing….laughing)). Talk about “no surprise.” So no graduation pics. There was one teacher (3rd grade) who gave me a stomach ache every day, but I was, thankfully, only in her class for the last five weeks of school, and there were extenuating circumstances, and I never held it against her. And I had an algebra teacher, with an absolutely wicked temper, who threw erasers at us, but he ended up being one of my favorite teachers, despite the subject.
you were so pretty!
im not allowed to resent teachers, “they’re people too abigail, they’re allowed to make mistakes” so says my mother, who is a teacher. i prefer to maintain that she and all teachers are NOT human, but i have yet to prove it
Why in the world would she say such a thing???…I think it’s a nice pic…As far as my graduation pics, I wouldn’t show them under penalty of death…they are horrible…lol…My 5th grade teacher was a B****…at least when I had her…She died a few years ago, and her obit raved about how she was a beloved teacher…I’d like to think she was just inexperienced when I had her and actually became a good teacher later…have a good one, Rainy
You were, and still are, beautiful! Classic good looks, my girl! And you have an even more beautiful personality, and I am thankful for a friend like you!
You’re so cute! That teacher was wrong!
That was a completely rude thing to say and your teacher was wrong! Our yearbook teacher may have been bizarro but at least he wasn’t that rude.
You look great without the beard! Got along well with my teachers, probably my fifth grade teacher just because she had trouble handling ADD boys and there was a bunch of us.
I love it. And the clothes…thinking and dressing outside the box at such a tender young age! Good for you.
Mr. Byrd gave me a D in Dynamics of Human Behavior. I saw him the mall one day and asked him why. He said, “You put God in your papers too much!” Grrrr….. The class was an ethics class. But this is the same teacher that brought in child pornography and tried to pass if off as art. He was a nut case.
teachers-yes, my art teacher in school used to go to my trash basket and pull my stuff out and keep it.
forgot -you look so cute!
I like the hippy chic picture and you do look cute in both of them.
Never cared for my 3dr grade teacher, Mrs Casper
La pera de peras
Yeah, Mrs. Kazee,English 3-I was carrying a B ave,and working after school. With 2 weeks to go she gave us an assignment to do for “extra” credit which I did not do and she gave me F for the year because of my “attitude”!!! (PMS’N????)
@buddly47 - Bud! Normally I would say shame on you for suggesting it… but in THIS case it sounds like you are WAY more then justified! lol
Nice pics!
My hs graduation picture showed me when I still had nice flowing hair…. haha. So I look at that when I want to reminisce about the good old days when I wasn’t bald. One day, when they find a cure (a real cure, not spray on hair or the comb over), I will make sure I have long flowing Fabio-like hair! haha.
Hmmm… nothing stands out when it comes to resenting teachers.
Ryc-thanks, but I think your pic are WAY more amazing!
My Algerbra teacher. I walked out of his class after throwing the math book at his head as hard as I could. Never went back into that class again.
Dang I despised that fellow.
Love LOVE LOVE your grad photos.
Mrs Fisher always sent me to the nurse because i was flushed ,she thought I had measles or the ilk,its called ‘Rosy Cheeks’!!
An Honors English teacher in high school accused me of not really writing a report on The Scarlet Letter. I wrote it, and I hated him for giving me a failing grade. It was a good paper, but he didn’t think that an honors English student could write as well as I did. He was obviously a tard. There were other teachers that I disliked for other reasons. I hated high school. It was a sucky experience for me.
Awwwwww. You’re so cute! I love it.
There are actually quite a few teachers that I found disappointing. But then… I was no walk in the park either.
I had my hair done just the way I liked it for my picture. Then for some reason the photographer felt the need to “fix” it. Well, he poofed out my hair so mush that when the picture came out it looked like a hair helmet. My hair took up the entire frame. I was so mad.
omg! they could fit six of you into that outfit!!! what a lil cutie-patootie you were/are!
What a doll you are! I’ll look for my picture. My Algebra teacher nearly ruined my school life when I had tonsillitis for two weeks. She would only help me catch up after school and I kept getting further behind. Got a tutor and caught up. Miss Whatever her name was ( I can’t remember, so it must not have left much of a scar) had a real mustache. (no offense, lol!)
great pics! I didn’t really have any teacher issues. But, I will say that the only time I ever cut a class was in high school and my oldest brother was substitute teaching that day!! No way was I sitting in that classroom.
Phew,great photos!!You were a right cracker(that’s British for”you were very pretty)!! Please don’t read anything into that,because as you know I’m a happily married man,and it’s the law that all married men aren’t really allowed to look at people of the opposite sex!!
We had a horrible sports master called Penford,who would grab your hair and hit you on the forehead with his knuckles.We called it the” Penford rap”,and it hurt!!
Third grade – Mrs. Chandler – she gave me a whipping for something Beth Garrett did…..she was my sunday school teacher too
I always think she didn’t like me cause I could not memorize all the books in the bible, I was only in third grade for petes sakes! Then in 9th grade Mr. Kinsman told me he was going to put me over his knee and spank me and I told him if he touched me he would have my Dad on him faster than he could shake a stick and I got an F in conduct….You’ve always been gorgeous…even without a mustache
@kevrach - Kev! Don’t worry I won’t be sending you my panties in the mail or anything, Ben wouldn’t like that and Rach would proabably send a hit man after me. lol
I will simply say thank you for the compliment and accept it for what it is… kindness and perhaps a little pity! lol
Thank you.
Mrs. Fricke. Fourth grade. She was such a not nice lady. She had it in for me, and I honestly don’t know why. I was a very good reader. I led the class in how many books I read. I love reading! On grandparents day, I showed my grandparents my books read squares. I was really proud of it. They were proud of me too. After they left to go home, Mrs. Fricke called me a liar.
When it snowed, all the teachers let their classes out to play in the snow, because down here… snow is rare, rare, rare. She wouldn’t let any of us play in it. But my mom checked me out of school, so there!!!
And on Awards Day, I was supposed to get Perfect Attendance. I was dressed in my finest. She didn’t give it to me. I’ll never forget that, my mom, my grandparents and my little sister (Sista Smacky was 4 then) was in the audience. After we marched down, I ran to my family and cried. She came over with this sickenly sweet smile and said, “Did I forget you?” And I said yes! When we got back to class without the parents and such, she yelled at me for what I did. Hey. Perfect Attendance was a big deal to me. I wasn’t class suck up, and I wasn’t Einstein, so this was about all I could muster to win!
She grudgingly wrote out a Perfect Attendance certificate, and Mom let me stay home the rest of the week (which was the last week of school!)
Many years later, Sista Smacky, Mom and I were talking about various teachers, and I complained about Mrs. Fricke. All of those years I thought that Mom had just let me suffer in her class. Mom corrected me. She said that she and Dad went to the office to see about placing me in another class, but the principal would not let them. Once you were placed, that was it. I think that was wrong of the school, esp. since we were not chronic complainers or anything (we never complained before!) but sometimes, it is for the best to move a kid out of the class. Maybe the principal didn’t let me out of her class because ALL the parents were complaining? It’s a good possibility. She just didn’t seem to have the patience for upper elementary school kids.
Hey! I really like your picture! Mine is probably in the closet of the room where Sherri and Ben are staying, so I am not able to go hunt it down at the moment…
@angi1972 - No pity meant……….and no pants required
!!
Don’t have senior school pics anywhere that I can recall. Moved around too many times around the world. I’m sure they’re somewhere. No, no teacher has ever been so powerful in my life as to make me hold bitter thoughts against them all the years.
by the way, i like you with or without facial hair!
You are so adorable!!! I can’t believe your teacher said that about the second picture–I think it’s a perfect yearbook picture. I’ll have to dig out some of mine. I don’t know seedsower, but I think I better visit her site!
yeah…diggin’ the hippie chic pic. You and my hubby would have gotten along. You’ve seen my grad pic…haven’t you? Were you quick enough to catch it before I took it down?? lol
Your graduation photo is beautiful. I love your hair…
Is that 80s style I spy?!? If so, you’re too rad.
something toward a teacher… hmmm… yep, and it is adoration and affection toward a Lit professor. During a random class, I was babbling about Dickinson and repression (not so much of a stretch, I know) and he interrupted me by stating “I love you, (mahz).” He was reading aloud that statement as written on a desk, but I like to think my Dickinson rant drove him to burst forth with this exclamation.
@mahz - NO 80′s! ! ! 1990… lol Sorry I just don’t want to get any older then I am! lol
you rock. seriously. but you know that already.
I think you look awesome………
RYC I am officially going out in a few but
really going to party later this week.
If My scanner wasnt broken…
I never had senior pictures taken. Thought it was a waste of time like attending my graduation or buying a letterman jacket/class ring. I remember the school-hired photographer stalking me all summer for a photo.
I hold a grudge against my HS American History teacher. He called me a terrorist… and he teased me about how I dressed… on a regular basis. One of my college professors said I should have filed a complaint, but personally, I’m just waiting for him to die so I can piss on his grave.
All of my teachers are in the present. Some just need to remember what it means to connect with their students.
Yikes!!! I’m so old, can you imagine how many boxes I would have to dig through to find a graduation picture? Maybe I’ll make a fake one, and post it!! Or, better, make one out of food! I have to go now and deal with the anger I have at your teacher. ttfn!
WHAT A HOTTEH!!!!
And why the hell didn’t you tell me your parents had xanga’s?!?!?!? THE HELLIO!!!!
I love your hippie chick pictures so much! I’m going to try to share some pics also, but I will have to dig through boxes too! Mrs. Sears, fourth grade. She took me and another girl to the principals office for putting lipstick on! Give me a break!!!! Peace
WOO HOO!! You looked hot! Great pics! I love your hair!
Lovely photos. You were (and are) a looker!
Too bad your teacher made a bad choice. The second picture really brings out your softer side, pink cheeks and all.
I only had one teacher I realy liked, and that was my freshman year. It was the only year I did really good instead of just barely passing. Teachers make a HUGE difference in our lives!
Great pictures, Angi!
I had a dorky senior picture too. I took a pic with my mounted crappie, holding a fishing pole, wearing a bass sweater. Yikes!
All my teachers were pretty cool. I did have a problem with this hottie english teacher. I would always drop my papers in front of her desk hoping she would check out my ass. She never looked.
where’d ya’ll get lipstick shellisland? I remember also that Daddy wasn’t too impressed with Mr. Sears (he was the principal) cause he wanted to go with us to the MOWJAHVEE desert….and Mrs. Chandler cause she told me I was stoopid for asking where clouds came from….thank goodness for Daddy cause I think we learned more from him than anyone else… ilym
Love the outfit in the first pic!
Stupid teacher, I wouldn’t have listened to her and put in the photo I wanted.
I posted a pic of a door today, just for you!
@the_best_stuff - I think that sounds like an AWESOME picture! You and my Pop would get along just fine… I don’t think he ever dropped his papers so the teacher would check out his hinny… but he was and is a diehard fisherman!
Teachers I held a grudge against? Hmmm I had a kindergarten teacher that made me take my “sweater” off on school picture day. Trouble was she wouldn’t listen to me when I kept telling her I couldn’t, she just yelled at me to take it off and do as I was told. So there I sat in my slip (the sweater was my “top”) Then she yells at me to put it back on, in all the fuss I buttoned it up crooked (give me a break I was 5). So there in black and white for all eternity is my reminder that no one has EVER listened to me. LOL
Trouble was I had her again for fourth grade she was better at listening, but I must not have been because she gave me an “E” for not knowing my times tables. Only failing grade I ever got in school by the way. Maybe I did hold a grudge, here it is 50 years later and I haven’t let go of it. LOL
I blame my entire outlook on life on all my teachers… and my parents… and our parish priest… and my friends… and…
Beautiful Angel . I suggest you take a photo of you nowadays ibn the same posture . Just to show your youth intact .
Love
Michel
I don’t want this to sound like flirting but the top one is so cute.
