School’s been out forever for most of the Chronicle staff, but we decided to get into the spirit of the Back to School issue and dig up our old high school and college IDs. Join us as we remember our roots – as metal heads and dweebs, jocks and poetry-writing mopesters. Go on and have a good guffaw on us. We’ll be the ones cringing in the corner. – Kimberley Jones
