 Have you tried Facebook? It's a much less awkward route...

 On the last day of school most kids will jump into photos that people are taking. No one will think you are a weirdo. In fact i you ask they will love it as like kenny said school is some of our best days. Also i bet there will be a least a dozen other kids doing the very same thing. Take the photos as its great to reminisce about days gone past

It's a good opportunity for them to mug it up and have some fun. Try not to worry about what others think of you. Tell them you are putting together a class memory album and you want pictures. Then let them decide whether or not, they want to be in the photos. Suggest group pictures. Two or three people together or a whole class pic. Just have a good time with it and if some say no, don't take it personally. Good luck.

Some may think they're not photogenic, or may simply not be in the mood for photos. I'm sure you'd be hesitating too if you looked dishevelled!
They're more likely to answer yes if you ask for a group photo, I believe. But your real problem is you worry too much what others think of you.
You needn't plan these things. Be more sure of yourself, too many what "if's." If it's the last year together, you can suggest multiplying so everybody gets to have a catalog...

 They say our school days are some of the best years of our lives. I don't think they will think it is weird if you ask for a class photograph, its is something you can look back on in years to come. Go on ask your class, i bet they will be flattered to have their picture taken.
Good luck x
