#2 - Who could disagree with findings like that
ReplyDelete#3 - The 3 Stooges still make me laugh
#5 - The 60s look
#6 - Yup
#10 - I grew up happy so i guess i didn't miss a thing
For the hairstyle...I'm gonna go with 1964. (Linda R was a real looker back in the day. She also sang pretty well, too).
ReplyDeleteThose must be the school books of the kids that failed class. This explains everything!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I did well in grade school because my grocery bag covered books could actually be opened?
We also put Elmer’s glue inside the spine cover to strengthen the binding. And your books were inspected for damage and scribbling at the end of the year.
Yes to 1, hi guys - life was better when you were here; we had a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteLarry, Moe, & Curly; Laurel & Hardie ; Charlie Chaplin
ReplyDeleteActive before my time but I still knew who they were.
I wonder how many people still recognize them.

1965
ReplyDeleteCovering text books with brown paper grocery sacks was a study in industrial engineering, construction, and art. A cultural phenomenom.
One had to plan and execute so the project would fit correctly. Too loose or too tight, it wouldn't last. Plus subject the offender to ridicule Where to place the adhesive glue, or Scotch tape. (use of glue instead of tape was next level - it showed you knew your stuff)
Then the embellishment with personal artwork for that truly custom job.
Today, with the damn ubiquitous plastic bag, kids won't know the satisfaction of victory of a well constructed book cover.
Every guy had a thing for Linda. Yet as deep that desire, it evaporated supersonically when found she had sidled with moonbeam.
Brown paper bag covers ... and in high school, my sister would use old denim jeans, trying to get the hip pocket front and center on the book.
ReplyDeleteI remember that show about Michael J Fox & Susanna Hoffs, poor guy can't even remember that he dated her.
ReplyDeletesorry, your husband is quite wrong. there were many of us that covered our school books in grocery bag paper.
ReplyDeleteYES, was a great doodle page that could be replaced when full.
DeleteI love each and every one of your posts today. Way to go!!!
ReplyDeleteThe beehive girls would be 1961.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing 1966 for the hairdo mob.
ReplyDelete#6- This is AI generated. The person who created it must have never covered a book with a brown paper bag. It was a skill you used from early Elementary thru High School. And, no book bags. Arms.
ReplyDeleteAnd no backpacks
DeleteWe were required to put covers on books. We used grocery bags.
