MY SENIOR PICTURE IN HIGH SCHOOL

No, this isn't it. This is some guy named Robbie Williams. Not Robin Wiliams, that's Mork. This is just a dork.

Well, at least his hairstyle. Which gets me to my Senior picture for the yearbook.

You got one shot back then. No professional studio. They did take just a bit more time with you then, maybe because most guys wore a sportcoat and tie. So you earned that luxury.

Miss Hopper told us the day Senior pictures would be taken. To this day I remember her saying, "Rest assured, it will rain on that date." She was right. How'd she know?

As a Senior, I didn't quite become a total convert to the Beatles moppy, floppy hair. I knew I had Church League Basketball season coming up, so I wore a modified Beatle with bangs and a part on the left side.

Senior picture rain left a gap in my modified Beatle hair; a space between my bangs that was undesirable, yet not mentioned by my photographer, Nelda Simmons (yearbook advisor) or friend Kenny Troutt in line behind me. So the space showed up in black and white. As I look back, I think sans space,it was still a goofy style. Either be a Beatle or don't.

Robbie Williams will look back someday and think the same thing. "What was I thinking when I went with that hairstyle?" It's embarrassing.
