51. Ah, c'mon, it was the 70's!

Look, I'm certainly no fan of his, but almost everyone looked like that in the 70's! My parents were high school teachers; they'd bring home copies of the yearbooks at the end of each year and I'd have fun laughing my ass off at the pictures. I didn't graduate until the early 80's. but even I and my elementary and junior high classmates didn't exactly look like fashionistas in the 70's.

I don't know what it was about the decade, but it sure made 90% of students look like complete dorks, even those who were not dorks by any stretch of the imagination. Hubby is ten years older than me and his high school pics are rather, well, ahem, interesting!
