Mind you, I loved seeing the young ladies in tank tops and REALLY didn't care to see them lose that "privilege" (it occupied my mind during the boring classes) . Fortunately, they didn't lose it in the end.
Incredible edibles, I had one of those. Like my creepy crawlers, but you could eat these
Around 1970 or so my high school allowed girls to start wearing slacks. If they wore jeans, or maybe for all girls wearing slacks, they had to wear a long shirt or sweater. I think there ended up being a lot of leeway in this. They had pretty strict rules on skirt length, had to be less than a certain amount above the knee, maybe 2". And there was a strict rule about boys sideburns. This was enforced by the coaches with dry razors.
Had one. Burned out the heck out of myself on it several times! Incredible edibles!
And I had one of these!
The exclamation I just made when I saw this. I have forgotten so much of my past that when I see something like this it's like a slap to the face. Then the memories come pouring back.
They didn’t have batteries?

I was a little late for the high school sumptuary rules. And glad I am of it; I would have to have gone to school in a skirt to protest.
Still oft' lamented. As are the tobacco cans of a yet earlier age. What's not lamented is the two Tbsp scoop that came in the top of every can, the way you couldn't bring yourself to throw them away, and the resulting drawers full of them. (OK, "drawers full" is an exaggeration.)And the one-pound coffee can/bag disappeared into the mist, forever and ever. The end.
My first venture into rocketry. I know they were available before the 70's but seems that they were everywhere during that decade.
Why was it tethered? Why not make it stand alone without the base?
Those tobacco cans were a prominent features of the Sawtooth Mountains where I grew up. Most every bodies claims were posted by the upside down Prince Albert can nailed to a tree with the claim securely tucked up inside.
I had one of these. Why not stand alone? Wireless was not around yet. If it was it was well beyond the reach of our poor folks income!
mom still has my baby food jars, uses them to hold various herbs and spices.
I still have some holding some small nuts and screws.
I use them to hold black powder in my field box
I always thought the metal ones were pretty neat, I never liked the plastic ones. If I had thought about it at the time I would have saved myself a batch of the metal ones.
