Discussion Guess the year of the yearbook!

Two different yearbooks, both from the same year. First four photos are from a school in Glendale, AZ. Last four photos are from a school in Martinsville, IN. I know this might lean more toward older millennials but still fun.

I'll share the answer later!

Edit: ANSWER IS 1997!

Yeah, my guess is 96, thats the 7xxx series of the Power Macintosh, which came out in 1995, schools would have had it that year and the following year for sure, Apple was still heavily discounting computers back then.

That, and those denim shorts are too faded to be late 90s, by the late 90s stone wash was pretty rare.

Also later 90s into the 2000s we were seeing shorter shorts with lower waists and ripped hems.

Yeah and the striped shirts w/ the thicker baseball collar stopped being as popular, regular ol' baseball shirts and "faker grunge" (t-shirts that looked like you were wearing two shirts, but were actually just one shirt) tees kinda replaced them.
