BIMD (junior high) At Killarney pool they had a chip vending machine that I recall being about eight feet tall that I'm certain had to be craned into place before the roof was completed. It vended bags of Old Dutch chips that had three times the volume of todays 'snack size' chips bags for a dime. We rode our Mustang bikes (high rise handle bars and banana seats) even in the winter.
Later, in high school, a Friday or Saturday night was pretty much set if you had a fin, because a case of beer (12) was $4.75 and a pack of smokes was .75 cents. The only colour of make up girls seemed to wear was blue and almost everyone felt compelled to get their hair permed. We all hated disco music (although I sense we'd gladly exhange it for much today's crapola) and jeans, T shirts (preferably with a Led Zeppelin logo) and woods down-filled jackets were the 'uniform'.
