The Timeless Ritual of the Class Photo

Ah class photos... they are one of those things that our society ensures is done every year. I'm not sure why, but they feel important. "Don't miss school today, it's class photo day" is something that is heard in households from coast to coast.

Maybe the reason they feel important is that, despite the constant change that is occurring in society, the ritual of taking photos is pretty much the same as before. Here's my grade four class photo:

The world would be a better place with more class photos. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find Glosette Girl's Grade four photo but I was able to dig up this little gem from 1991:

Nice tie sweets!
