Do not read if easily offended by ribald comments

His only chance for (insert other term used for cats), you mean?

I was a senior in high school in 1970 in Oklahoma City. The 60s were just arriving (everything came to OKC 10 years late) and some people wanted to "jazz up" our yearbook rather than having the same old photos. Our yearbook was a perennial winner in contests for best yearbook so the editor would have none of it. That didn't stop us from trying. The "Great Books Club" of which I was a proud member had its photo taken - one of the young men adhered strictly to the dress code, which was "coat and tie". He had the coat and the tie, but no shirt. Others of us decided we wanted to add some spice to the picture so we took items such as a bouquet of flowers or a plaster dove (my personal contribution). As we entered the studio we were told that these items were prohibited, so we reluctantly put them down. The photographer didn't notice the boy without a shirt and the photo was taken. However when the yearbook was published, the photograph had been altered (in the days before Photoshop) - the photographer managed to keep the boy's face but put a different body under it.

On the topic of Bad Yearbook photos-In the mid 80's, I saw a Mandan, North Dakota, yearbook and at least one lad had his picture taken of him inside an (empty) manure spreader. Keep in mind, that Mandan is just across the river from Bismark so it is not exactly in the middle of nowhere. I also remember several other very (cowboyish) pictures in that annual.

The trendy thing in our yearbook last year appeared to be "Camouflage and Guns"-several of the lads went that route for their yearbook picture. I am guessing that would not be allowed in most places.

We should have a "Match the Yearbook photo with the Bored-er" contest. That'd be a hoot, I'll bet.

The photo is a bit of a stunt:

SCHENECTADY -- A student at Schenectady High School is petitioning to have a unique photo included in the yearbook. The school says the photo of Draven Rodriguez, taken by photographer Vincent Giordano from Trinacria Photography, can be used in the yearbook, but not as the student's senior photo. Rodriguez points out on his petition page that the photo has not been rejected, but wanted "as many backers as possible" before the yearbook deadline next week.
