KINDERGARTEN, 1968, AGE 6
Haircut technology was still in its infancy.
|
FIRST GRADE, 1969, AGE 7
This was as close as I'd come to a smile in a grade-school portrait.
|
SECOND GRADE, 1970, AGE 8
Quite the minimalist esthetic, with the doggy on my shirt cropped out.
|
THIRD GRADE, 1971, AGE 9
The Lee Harvey Oswald look was still "in."
|
FOURTH GRADE, 1972, AGE 10
No, there wasn't a Junior ROTC program. Why do you ask?
|
FIFTH GRADE, 1973, AGE 11
It took me long enough, but not so bad, eh? Ladies? Ladies?
|
SIXTH GRADE, 1974, AGE 12
Another good one. I really did look OK once. Alas, it wasn't to last.
|
SEVENTH GRADE, 1975, AGE 13
Bozo in a leisure suit. The '70s had hit their stride.
|
EIGHTH GRADE, 1976, AGE 14
The glasses and the 'fro make their debut. And the zits.
