for senior photos, did the photograher ever write the grad year on the bottom of your feet?

This is a Pinterest fad. Google “senior photo writing on feet”.

Ok, I had to google. There were several that made the feet look huge!

OK, I'm officially feeling not old, but ancient. When I graduated we all had to wear white shirts and ties and the girls wore black sweaters and pearls (provided by the photographer if the young lady forgot hers).

I graduated from high school in 1965. At the time, only seniors' pictures were put in the yearbook, and a photography studio had the contract, so everyone who had a portrait sitting was in the class of '65. As I remember, he made several proofs (on a reddish proof paper). The photographer delivered the appropriate prints to the yearbook staff, who put them in a page layout, and sent that off to the printing company. The studio used a 4x5 portrait camera (don't remember the make or model).

My mom and dad selected a "package" of wallet, 5x7, 8x10, etc. photos touched up (lots of zits edited out).
