This is what I would have looked like if I’d been graduating from high school in 1952 - almost a whole generation before my own mother. I like it - I look demure, which is something I’ve never looked as far as I can remember. I rather enjoy it.
And in a pretty - or really, not so pretty - bit of irony, the funniest picture I got from yearbookyourself.com was the one that was supposed to be from my actual graduation year! Perhaps some people wore their hair like this in 2000, but I did not, and none of my friends did. I shudder to think what would have happened if we had. I was dating my husband then. Maybe I wouldn’t even have been able to attract him in the first place if I’d looked like this! For your amusement:

Hey, I wore my hair EXACTLY like that in 1999—just a little bit longer. Those bangs were IT, I tell you! Or so my hairstylist told me.
You make a fabulous 1950s housewife, Arwen!
In that first picture you look like my hero, Flannery O’Conner.
yea, i graduated in 2001 and i definitely did not look like that either! i was also dating my husband then, and considering the hoots from him when i did this with my own picture.... it pry wouldn’t have worked out for us either! 
Although your sister “Katie” has her face, that is exactly the hairdo my mother (your grandmother) was wearing in the early 50’s—and forever thereafter.
