I actually handled three of my year books yesterday. Had not even looked through them in more years than I can recall.
These are from the early 1980’s and I do not know why I still have them.
Sort of depressing as I really do not remember the vast majority of these people. Once they were gone, they were gone.
Too much stuff, time to toss them.
I can see her being reluctant to show up on Monday and being asked about this.
[I’ve been thinking of tossing them out, although ‘63-65 were my cheerleading years. I doubt my kids would even want them.]
Scan the pictures you are in and any significant events you want to remember.
OMG - You win Post of the Year !!!!!!!!!!!
Of course all the yearbook photos back then were in black and white.
Oh, there might be some allusions, in the Senior picture part, to some party or other, that was written by the kid ( no, NOT all of them! ), but seeing this stuff, was eye opening and yes, shocking!
My mother always used to jokingly say: "Why couldn't I have been born rich, instead of beautiful."
CHRISTINE BLASEY
is a professor of psychol
-
ogy and statistics and has worked at Stanford Univer
-
sity since 1988. She spends the majority of her work
time teaching and mentoring students who are seeking
to become either research or clinical psychologists.
The rest of her time is spent as a biostatistician,
conducting medical research both at Stanford and
at private biotech companies in Silicon Valley. She
was able to inspire students at Holton-Arms when
she presented at the Holton Upper School Alumnae
Assembly in April over reunion weekend. It’s not all
about work though. While she has co-authored over
50 scientific publications, book chapters and books,
she is an avid surfer, and she and her family spend a
great deal of time surfing in the Santa Cruz and San
Francisco areas.

Isn’t it astonishing how the “Sex! Drugs! Rock ‘n Roll!” kids of those days somehow SUDDENLY become pious Quakers when a conservative is nominated for the Court?
Whoa! Is this legit?

That’s my question, too. It seems too inappropriate for a yearbook.
[Of course all the yearbook photos back then were in black and white.]
I have noticed that black & white pictures are coming into vogue again.
Not all private day schools were like this and neither were the ELITE boarding schools.
EXACTLY!
I believe that’s our accuser in the front row on page 21 of the Class of ‘84 reunion.
Is she in the blue dress?
Wow, thank you for posting.
Honestly having graduated in 88 myself, a few years earlier would have been the dead center of the “Preppy Handbook” era.
For what it’s worth here is this book on Amazon

My sister (class of ‘86) thought that ridiculous book was some kind of bible. We lived far from east coast style elitist schools, so I can’t say our own yearbooks sounded as bad as this - the Holton Arms yearbook pages sound exactly like that handbook. Glorifying drinking and promiscuity at every turn - and if the editors of the yearbook were of the same mindset - it isn’t surprising that they would think this kind of drivel makes them all seem all the more elite.
So few drunken sluts take the time to memorialize their debauchery these days. It’s a good thing these youngsters had adult supervision else who knows what might might have happened?
Also interesting her parents were paying for a super a$$ expensive school while being foreclosed on. They did, however, pay off the loan or refinance it before the case went very far.
