Posers

It's important, nowadays, to get your pose down.

It can be a laid back, arms crossed version like the kid in the middle front. Another popular pose is the peace sign, of which, in this generation, there is no connection to Vietnam, protests or Richard Nixon. Just Peace Out. The all-purpose, lean over to your friends pose is also popular.

But the one that takes the cake in this eighth-grade photo after a school field trip is the boy? girl? in the front left: one leg extended to the side, hood down over face, leaning with arms crossed on the bent leg.

Now that's an original.
