Whoever our anonymous donor is, it’s clear that the class of 1994 understood the allure of satin, taffeta and had a knack adopting a natural smile while flanked by clumps of balloons. Somewhere in this crowd could be a current senator, syndicated columnist or reality TV show star.

Because EVERYONE posed like this, once upon a time.
