TEN THINGS WE DIDN'T HAVE ON GRADUATION DAY.
A CELL PHONE to keep in contact with friends about the hot parties.
AN E-MAIL ADDRESS to receive best wishes from relatives and to thank them for their gifts. We had to use those things, what do you call them, oh yes, envelopes and stamps.
A DESIGNATED DRIVER to stay sober to take us home. Nobody thought much those days of driving while half loaded. Or fully loaded.
THE FEAR OF CIGARETTES because it seemed like most adults smoked and it was a sign of being an adult. We got hooked and boy
was it hard to quit later in life.
AN SUV. Huh?
COMMERCIAL JET SERVICE to bring our relatives to graduation. It was just around the corner.
TENNIS SHOES, SNEAKERS, for everyday wear. They were only for tennis or gym class. The rest of the time you wore leather.
PANTYHOSE I suppose. Being a guy I don't know what you had under there (I tried unsuccessfully to find out many times) but it wasn't pantyhose because it hadn't been invented yet.
TELEPHONE ANSWERING MACHINE so people could leave messages when you weren't home. You answered the phone when you were home, and if you weren't home you were just out of luck. You couldn't see who was calling either. But, that didn't bother you, you answered it anyway even though your number was in the phone book.
STARBUCKS COFFEE to keep you awake to study. You had to drink the stuff at Johnie's Drive Inn, but you really didn't think it was too bad. And, it cost you ten cents, not $1.89.
