Star yearbook photos: Were any “Most Likely to Succeed”?

One of life’s great shared injustices is the yearbook photo. We all had to get them. And — unless they’ve somehow magically found a cure for awkwardness, geekiness and general dorkitude since I was a teenager — most of us dreaded them. For whatever reason, be it bad skin, bad clothes or the steadfast yet ultimately misguided belief in the transformative properties of big bangs, many of us look back at our school pictures and cringe. Or, at the very least, giggle. But you know what? Celebrities had to get them too, just like us mere mortals. Now that is what I call justice.

So, let’s play a little game called Name That Teenager. It’ll be fun; like being back in high school, but already knowing what everyone will look like at the class reunion. Let the games begin:

Among them you have a Rock star, an Alien hunter, an alphaBette and the possible next president of the United States of America.

Give up?

Up next, a group that clearly spared no expense on the Aqua Net.

In fact, I think a large portion of the blame for the hole in the ozone layer can be attributed to aerosol hairspray use by the two on the left.

Give up?

This next lot butched it up in their formative years, or more accurately, their hair did.

Bottom right is giving me a total Some Kind of Wonderful flashback. God, how cute was Mary Stuart Masterson in her fingerless gloves in that movie? But I digress.

Give up?

Finally, I bring you some possible stumpers.

I’ll give you a hint: Three of them have almost the exact same first name. Also, can we please savor the mad fashion genius that is top left hand corner’s pencil motif T-shirt? Are those No. 2 pencils? She is so ready for her SATs.

Give up?
