What happens is the popular kids go "OMG!!!1 MY SENIOR PICTURE MUST HAVE A FANCY BACKGROUND!! I'M NOT LETTING THAT HACK PHOTOGRAPH ME!!" so the yb starts slacking and lets people get their own pictures done. Then something like this comes up. Stupid school.

Our school did a combination of this. The school told us the background of our senior pic for the yearbook had to be a color backdrop (I think it was a gray/blue or beige...can't remember now), but we could get it done anywhere, and we could wear anything we wanted. Most of us just had it done with the photographer who did the rest of our senior photos, but a few kids just had the photo taken on school photo day with the rest of the student body.
