Outclassed: As the Class of 2024 graduates, it's normal to wonder what the students will go on to accomplish in their lives. Will they make the world a better place or a worse one? For example, the fictional class of gifted students portrayed in the 1980s sitcom Head of the Class (as well as its spinoff and revival) contains both people who ascended to the top of the entertainment industry and people who fell from those heights into disgrace. These seven people all accomplished greater fame or infamy after becoming young members of the cast. Can you name them all? Good luck on this seven-question pop quiz, genuises.
