Wicked Blue's JournalWho remembers ditto machines?
Ah, the smell of ditto fluid. The purple prose and poetry. Typing the teachers' handouts for brownie points.
Who remembers school sock hops?
Back in the 60s, when we had dances in school gymnasiums, we weren't allowed to wear shoes because they would scratch the polished wood floors.
There was usually a room or an area set aside to leave your footwear. Being a perennial wallflower, I was usually one of the people minding the shoe room.
Sock hops started in the 40's and were popular in the '50s. My kids' elementary school had a sock hop every couple of years in the '90s.
Who remembers white gym sneakers?
In high school we were required to wear white gym suits, white socks and white sneakers for Phys Ed. Everything had to be immaculately white, or you would get marked down.
We used white shoe polish to cover scuff marks on the sneakers.
