Before They Were Bloggers

I came across this pic from high school of Matthew (JMBzine.com) and myself (azoidx.com). We both attended Newcastle high school from 1982 to 1994 and lived on the same street. We had many a great adventure on that street in those years.

JMB and AJY in High school english at Newcastle High school in Oklahoma

As you can see we define Nerd. I don’t know the exact year this was taken, although plenty in that shot should tell me. It does look like we were in English class due to the book on the desk. Reading my posts you can tell this was a class I didn’t learn enough from.

I figure this post will tell me just how often JMB reads my blog... :)

Hey guys,

that pic rocks!! I want to say a few clues as to the year in that pic.
First of all I don't think it was English class only because there are #'s on the blackboard.
Secondly, Aaron you are wearing a ring which if you look closely enough looks like your class ring. So it had to have been following the time that you received that. which I don't remember when that was was it Juniour year? You guys hair and face appear still too young to be seniors and given the trendy attire you are both wearing I would say Sophmore or Junior year.
Also i think this was evidently a class room in the main building probably a Math class and probably on the south side of the building because there is a reflection from the window coming from your side Aaron.


Thats all true and I was thinking the numbers probably meant math, but I was thrown off because we both have books that say Literature. The larger pic shows the books better. I cropped the pic a bit.

I didn't notice the ring but you are right. I am pretty sure its not our senior year so it might be junior. We are much too young to be seniors, but I can't remember anymore what looks too young.

We sat at the back of the class so that chalk board is the one in the back not the front of the class also.

Looks like that signature on the board says Kerali.


If that don't look like trouble...

Must not have had much discipline at that school. ;)


That is a hoot. I can't believe how skinny I was back then. --- and your hair, goodness sakes that was something.

We actually got our rings in the spring of the Sophomore year. --- It might have been in Ms. Dunnsworth's geometry class. I remember sitting towards the back of the room in there... remember Tim King and Matt Cravens sat in front of us.


Nope, it can't be her class because we sat with our chairs facing North (with the windows behind us).... this would have had to be class where the seats faced either west or east --- and it would have to be class in the main building, not the old freshman building that they have since knocked down)

For Math classes it could have been . . . well it couldn't have been Algebra I because that was freshman year?


Hey we need to get together and pose in a similar fashion for a present day photo to go along with this one.


Wow, anyone know what happened to Matt Cravens and Tim king? Those two were like bread and butter, and just a little weird!


I saw Matt a few times after we graduated. I know he is married and has at least one kid.

I don't know about Tim.
