julesraimes found my freshman yearbook online!!!  C'est moi on the left - in the middle. Schubert was my maiden name.



Here's my beleagered history teacher.



It was a boarding school - that's why the address detail. And zip codes weren't required by the post office yet.   It was the olden days.

Wild. And such fun.  Thank you, julesraimes !!

You're also on page 71 as one of the senior's, Midg West's "marshall". Have you found that picture yet?

:) actually, I kind of lost interest before I got that far. It was fun to see but, like I said, school sucked - I'd totally forgotten about Midg West. I think I last thought about her in, mmmm, let's see, 1964! ha!!

Very cool!

The hairstyles from this time period always make me smile. You're a long way from North Carolina!:)

I know where she lived! I mean, that area is very familiar to me.

[susandennis]

I wondered if that address would ring a bell with you. Apparently now she lives on at 100 Fxxx Road (we need to fill in the blanks or pay $$) according to the link that kayre found. So 1. She was clearly younger than I remembered (she's 80 now) and 2. survived me. Win win!

Everyone's hair is so great.

I too was caught by the hairstyles -- or I should say -style, since they all look pretty much the same -- and it caused me to reflect that yes, in fact, that's the way girls were wearing their hair in the '60s.

[susandennis]

I didn't even see the hair until you guys started pointing it out. Now I look an all I see are nights of uncomfortably sleeping on hard, pink plastic hair rollers. There was a lot of suffering that went into that horrible look!

I must say, Miss Isabel Quattlebaum - wasn't she a character in Harry Potter?

Pixie! What a name. All of those names are from such a specific time. I think of all the women I have known that are around your age (and my Mom's age) that are named, Susan, Karen, and Carol.

[susandennis]

I think there was a law. You could only pick from a handful of predefined names. There were always a buttload of Susans in every class of mine at school. Pixie's name was Susan but she quit fighting the mob way early on.

My parents always told me that they wavered between Susan and Linda but they had a dog named Linda so.... My baby brother's ifhewasagirl name was Patricia.

But, the wild card here was the South. On other pages of our class you find instances of the rule 'first girl child takes for first name the mother's maiden name.' So we had a Brooke Gardiner and a Marshall Chapman (she turned out to be a country singer) and a George Butler.

The other wild card, of course, is that we were all girls and excruciatingly white.

Oh boy. You see, I even have Aunties named Linda, and Patricia. (again all around your age.) Shoot, I even have an Auntie Susan.

Of course the maiden name thing. I remember my Mom knew a woman who a member of the First Families of Virginia and her first name was Hyde. (a family name.)

My Mother recalls how girls were named Susan, Linda, Cindy, Patricia, and Mary. And then there was my Mom who was called Theresa.

[susandennis]

I was never that fond of the name Susan but was ever so glad we didn't live in the South when I was born cause my Mom's maiden name was Eisenlohr. And she had just the twisted sense of humor to give it a shot.
