The Sophomore - 1972-1973

If you've ever seen That 70s Show, you'll see Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher wearing bell-bottom slacks with cuffs. That was a short-lived fashion style and, for me, that was this year. You can have the rest of the 70s fashion, particularly the long-sleeved, all polyester shirts, but I LIKED those pants. The student ID picture was taken on the first day of school. On that first day of school, Mom asked me if it was different being a sophomore. I remember saying it beats being a freshman. I don't know why I didn't keep my freshman ID. All of the rest are taped into their respective yearbooks. We were the De La Salle Cavaliers. This ID was good for admission to any school activity.

I'm not sure when the yearbook pictures were taken. Once again, I apologize for the graininess. It looks like the hair is starting to get away from me here so I'm guessing the weather was still hot and humid but that's not much of an indicator in New Orleans. I think it was taken on campus, though. I remember going off campus for my senior picture but no other. The rule on hair was that it couldn't touch your collar. 99% of the student body was borderline on that rule. We all wanted to wear longer hair. Looking back at this frizzy, unmanageable mess, I have no idea why I wanted more of it.
