Class of 1982

My high school yearbook from 1982 had 0 suits and ties. And some non-white students.

Ken Knapke can get it!

Beaver Creek HS? I should've transferred there.

Who the fuck are these nonentities?

This one girl pictured below is a real dog. bow wow.

These threads made me drag out my 1978 yearbook and we looked vastly different from the 1980s ones. The 1980s people all look middle aged!

They all look awesome.

Full of hope and possibilities.

Stop the cunty.

Was this Gabrielle Cateris' real school and graduating class?

Charles Kauffman looks like a hella intense fuck! Lynn ketzel looks like a lesbian.

No, R9. This is.

This must be a rich school.

That's '82

I was Class of 1981 and this looks EXACTLY like my yearbook.

No big hair should have been your first obvious clue.

I think the picture of the cheerleaders on the cover of the “Sleigh Bells” debut album Treats was the class of 1982.

Rodney Knopp was the school rebel. No tux for him.

If this is Beaver Creek Colorado, it's a rural community with a lot of ski resorts

When will DLers remember that the 80s were radically different depending on where you lived, that without the internet, trends took years to make it inland from NYC and LA

I swear I went to school with people who looked just like that but they had different names.

And I didn’t go to high school in CO.

All those people are ugly.

Definitely looks like upper middle class white early 80s...

How did they get their hair feathered like that?

R22 cum and a blow dryer!

lol, R23!

Trust me man, back then I got more tang than an astronaut.

To me the '80s didn't start looking stereotypically '80s until 1984. This looks closer to 1979.

They must have just put on "Hair" for the senior production. A couple pinged. There may have been a few others, but they were too ugly to be considered.

1982 hair and 1989 hair were significantly different. Trust me, I was there. 1982 HS hair was still a knockoff of 1970's glam rock shag.

Ken looks 18 like Hammer looks 24

R27 is correct. The big hair and clothing didn’t start until 83 or 84.

Agreed. 1980 to 1982 a lot of people still had hair styles that looked like the late 1970's.

DL Queens which is the most attractive guy from that 1982 year book. My favorite is Doug Koogler. He is my 1982 DREAMBOAT.

I can't imagine any guy wearing a suit and tie for school pictures in the 70s.

I found a much more recent photo of Doug Koogler. He still looks good. He works for Kiplinger Wealth Advisors.

Not Beaver Creek, Colorado but a suburb of Dayton, Ohio. Being from nearby (Indiana) could tell just from all the German surnames.

They look old for their age.

You can still see vestiges of Farrah Fawcett ('70s) hair in the girls and the boys as well. The full-blown (no pun intended '80s hairstyles came later.

Oh hell I matriculated in 1982 myself.

How many of them are dead?

Beavercreek? Home of the Battling Beaver Band and Beaverettes?

These seniors were the freshmen during the look of “Ordinary People” those high school students. The design change of Trans Ams in 82 felt so futuristic.

We graduated 1989 and we looked nothing like the pictured above. Shoulder pads, big hair, make-up etc. R27 said exactly in the case of my yearbook.

Damn all those "kids" look like they are in their 30s.

Mary! me all you want but even though I don't know these kids I get a little misty eyed looking at them. Which ones have lived fulfilling, happy lives, in careers they love? Which ones have had nothing but unhappiness - bad marriages, addiction issues, illness? Which ones rose to the top of their field? Which ones have died?

Looks like my yearbook of 1978 if you ask me.

Would stoners and metalheads of the era have looked like this?

[quote]Damn all those "kids" look like they are in their 30s.

Yeah, why is that? Maybe people shouldn’t give 90210 such a hard time for casting old people since they really did look like that.

I went to metal heads that looked like that I went to high school, r47.

You can see how the side part in the later 80s took over from the 70s middle of the head part.

Here is a page of the graduating class of 1982 from my yearbook.

I graduated high school in 1982 and this looks exactly like my yearbook. Hair styles, clothing styles, everything. But it's interesting because not even four years later, the preppy look had taken over: button down shirts, sweaters worn around the shoulders, shoes with no socks

Yep r47 - We sure did.

There were only a handful of real punk rockers at my high school in '82.

I wonder if Julia Kapp and Lynn Ketzel ever scissored?

Are there three sets of twins? In 1982??!! Or are those just siblings? Yearbooks usually group the kind by grade and there are definitely two sets of siblings, the King kids may just have the same last name.

I went to an all boys, Jesuit high school, and we wore white dinner jackets in our photos (Class of 1981). The hair styles and eyeglasses are the same (longish hair, parted in the middle, bit spectacles). That yearbook photo from OP reminds me of the "Facebook" we were given as incoming Freshmen in college. I agree with the poster that wrote the styles in 1982 were influenced by the 70s still. By 1984, you began really to see the influence of the Preppy Handbook and Madonna's style.

82 was just a continuation of the late 70's in many ways. Like someone upthread posted the 80's as we know it didn't really start until 84. Reagan's second term. Hair Styles ranged from 70's to early new wave. Think of the show Square Pegs.
