CRAZY FAD

WHAT CRAZY FADS DO YOU REMEMBER IN GRADE SCHOOL?

Bobby sox and saddle shoes - dirty ones (I always kept mine clean).

In high school, the boys made homemade cars and drove them to school, weird shapes, one was shaped like a boat. They painted signs on them like "CONSTIPATED - CAN'T PASS A THING"

Cherry cokes and rootbeer floats were the thing. Teens had two hangouts in Cuba. The Candy Kitchen (Soda Bar) and Mom's Soda Bar. Both good, clean places.

Jitterbugging, but we didn't.

See how many people you could cram into a Beetle Volkswagon or in a telephone booth.

The hula hoop fad began.

We girls wore "poodle skirts" and appliqued poodle at the bottom. (Mom drew a picture of what it looked like)
