Back in 2016, I did a Vintage Photo Tuesday post featuring real life images of people from the 1920s-1950s posing with their cars. It was a popular post and I have always thought I should do a Part 2 of because there was just so much content out there. So friends that is what you are getting today!

Let’s take a look at what I found…..

Right now on social media the “Ten Year Challenge” is trending. What did you look like 10 years ago vrs today. This trend then sprung an idea into my head! What if I were to look at a vintage yearbook photos from a COLLEGE Freshman’s first year vrs their last year (Senior year) and share it here?

Well friends, you are in luck! I have found some fun examples from the 1920s to the late 1960s that I’m sharing with you right now (and then maybe some more in a future post).

Let the fun begin!

One last one from ‘The Pine Knot’ (Barton College) this time from 1939. The start of WW2. The Freshman yearbook pages were filled with happy young men, like Gordon Aldridge (well maybe not Gordon).
