Hawaiian shirts were huge that year (Picture: Dave Hasselbee/Imgur)

A group of New York students decided to have a little fun on picture day and then everyone got involved.

Well, you’ve got to liven things up somehow.

Dave Husselbee, a junior at Sleepy Hollow High School in Westchester, New York, started off with five matching Hawaiian shirts and persuaded his mates to put them on for their pictures.

He shared the results on Imgur, explaining: ‘A few friends and I decided to have some fun on picture day. We bought five shirts and about 10 kids knew about it before picture day.’

But, then, as he went on to explain, things sort of snowballed.

The teenagers waited outside the classroom where the photo shoot was taking place and just asked the next person in if they wanted to wear the shirt.

‘We got about 50 kids in the end,’ Dave wrote.

We like how everyone put their own spin on it – some left it open over a tee; others went for buttoned up. So versatile.

And then the teachers got involved.

Dave said they were a little harder to persuade, but once the chair of the science department got involved, the floodgates opened.

One lady really went for it.

The students were delighted when they received their printed yearbooks.

Oh, and if you’re wondering where to get yourself one of those jazzy Hawaiian print shirts, don’t worry, Dave’s provided a link to the website.

We hope he got a discount.

Now imagine if these kids actually put their creative skills to practical use.
