Felt this social pressure to conform even in the 60s and 70s. Remember attending "charm school" (at Wanamaker's department store). Good insights into those times.
being a 1951 HS graduate, I am living proof of your accurate assessment of that time era. You nailed it!!! BUT....look how times have changed and where we are today. Is one era better than the other??? Isn't life an exercise of change, growth, learning and adaptability? The secret: stay flexibile throughout; don't get stuck for too long anywhere along the progression. Enjoy the ride...respect yesterday's woes and joys, anxiously look forward to tomorrow's adventures. Love, love, love your insights!!! Nana
This is so good, and I’m glad you’re writing again! I think I’m your fascination with yearbooks, you may really have stumbled upon a goldmine of culture and history. Looking forward to 2022!
