A young man in Miss McFarland’s homemaking class (spared the apron) incites suspicion as he reaches for the pressure cooker. Perhaps he will fare better in the canning process.

Trust In Me
In keeping with yesterday’s eyeglasses post, we continue with the theme.
Is it me, or does Mr. Gibson have Jungle Book snake eyes?
He’s like one of those cats with two colors of eyes.
And check out Mr. Curry down below. While Richard’s pipe and Donald’s head of nails are interesting features, Paul has the intoxicating eyes. You can’t turn away.
Maybe it was something in the water. Even some of the professors at Western New Mexico University had crazy eyes.
Professor Morton looks like he just hid the body and is biting his tongue to keep quiet.
I almost cropped Professor Habeeb out of this image but I did not want to deny you his amazing salt ‘n’ pepper hair, valiantly defying gravity as it swirls about his skull like a kudzu vine.
So That’s What They Mean By Coke Bottle Glasses
Poor Billy. If only he could have used James’s frames for the portrait. Any of the Jameses would have done.

Bus Etiquette: Civilized vs. Liberated
Once upon a time, elementary school boys wore ties to school–natty ones which matched their hunter green socks. Global warming and aspartame had not caused ADD yet, so children sat perfectly still, carrying on conversations void of uncouth words. They were well-mannered and neither stood in the aisles nor threw spitballs at their bus drivers. Was this just a fantasy?
A generation later, the bus was brimming with free love, altered states, lewd bare arms, and sunglasses to disguise dilated pupils. One young man even attempted to punch his way through the roof in an ill attempt at a glass ceiling metaphor. I can smell the patchouli from here.
Which bus would you rather ride?

Mid-Century Must-Haves
The good Catholic boys of Corpus Christi College-Academy in 1950 listed their prize possessions for their yearbook senior portraits. You will find nothing technology-related. It was a simpler time. Take John Carew, for example:
He cherished his bag of marbles and yo-yo. And if he reached his ambition, just think how many more marbles he could buy!
Some boys prized their own good looks, like Mr. Anderson.
Honestly, would you have even known it was red?
Still others prized life at the academy itself, like the redundantly-named Brian O’Brien.
These two favored material objects.
And while no graduating 2016 senior would put a portable radio at the top of his list, some things never change. Men love cars.
Here’s hoping Rob Klepac is still burning gas 66 years later.

More From A Bright Spot
I’ve never been as far north as Wisconsin, and my only knowledge of Milwaukee is this:
But I loved that show and wanted to visit Milwaukee to see what all the fuss was about.
By the power of old National Geographic mags, I’ve learned it’s the home of original copper kettles at Pabst’s brewhouse.
I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but in Texas, PBR specials are rampant at bars and poolhalls. It’s oft times sipped ironically in tall boy cans by those with burly hipster beards, horn-rim glasses, and cuffed skinny jeans. But who can argue with these daily specials?

Oh, and sometimes this happens.
That defeats the purpose of keeping the ale chilled but surely it would woo all the single ladies.
However, let’s not forget it was Schlitz that made Milwaukee famous.
Below you see the smiles of execs from both Miller and Schlitz making a toast to Summerfest, an annual brouhaha of merriment, back when Carter was president.
And what could go better with Milwaukee beer than Milwaukee brats?
Such a friendly place all around!
