There's a picture of an Adohr brand milk bottle. These were quart bottles of milk brought by the milkman, left on the doorstep early in the morning. He would take the empty bottles away at the same time, to be reused. I took the picture because it was the last delivery we would receive. It was the end of an era.
Pinhole Camera
I used a homemade pinhole camera to take the
panoramic picture of Nancy on the lawn outside of room G-3. The camera
was just a small cardboard box. On the front of the box, I punched a
hole and covered it with aluminum foil, and made a tiny pinprick with a
sewing needle. In the back of the box, I placed a 6-inch strip of 35 mm
camera film, curled into a semicircle along three sides. The shutter was a piece of black paper. I
set the camera on top of some books and uncovered the pinhole for 3
seconds. I developed the film and made the contact print in the usual
manner. The School Dress Code
1970-1971 was the first year that girls were allowed to wear pants to school. Before then, pants were considered to not lady-like enough for school. On the other hand, skirts couldn't be too short, and were limited to no more than a certain number inches above the knee. I suppose shorter skirts were considered too lady-like. But school spirit uniforms (cheerleader, flag twirler, etc.) were exempt from the length rule. It made no sense at all. In 1970, they finally junked the old rules and said only that clothing had to be "appropriate."In prior years, there was a popular event called Capri Day, sponsored by Girls' League, in which girls were given the opportunity to pay 50 cents for the privilege of wearing pants to school for the day. Back then, 50 cents was quite a lot of money. You could buy five full-size candy bars.
