tintin said...: Anon- I wouldn't lump the south in one category. This is Chapel Hill. Nothing at all like Atlanta which is nothing like Oxford which is...But I get your point. The south, then and today, makes an effort when it comes to personal appearence and traditional clothing is a big part of it for both men and women.

DB- Yep. Even though this is late 60's versus early 50's, the 14 years is about to really speed up. The '69 and '70 yearbooks from UNC show a student body that has left all of this behind.

TWJ- Lots of short hair styles in the yearbook with the more complex and hair spray stuff a minority.

TradMan - Anon 2 refers to the 1954post prior to this one and not to today.; 30 March, 2010 10:32
Laguna Beach Fogey said...: Cute fillies. But, I'm not a fan of 'helmet hair' on men or on women. I'm so glad I skipped the 1960s.; 30 March, 2010 10:36
GSV JR said...: I prefer Athens, GA over Chapel Hill, NC.

Wager the farm on Athens' 1960s chicks looking nearly the same as Athens'2000s chicks. Straight hair, pearls, lip gloss. Mmmm.; 30 March, 2010 12:56
tintin said...: LBT- So glad I didn't.

Stew- Something for you tomorrow. 70's chicks. Be sure to swing by.; 30 March, 2010 12:58

Julia said...: I've done time as a high school yearbook adviser, so I'm detecting that this is from a 'class favorites' section. In so much as I can speak for high school yearbooks, the usual student body is fairly pressed and polished(like these guys) until around 1970 when kids started growing out their hair, wearing bell bottoms, macrame and Army/Navy garb. What's funny to see is how square and old the 1970's teachers usually look compared to their hippy students. Was this the precursor to casual Friday?; 30 March, 2010 18:10
Family Man said...: Boofy!

Well, at least some of them.; 30 March, 2010 18:36

(Is this redundant? I may have previously mentioned it hereabouts. Sawray.)

NCJack said...: That was the year I started there, and I think I remember at least one of these girls. There were so few allowed in at the time, you noticed them all. Two years later, they went to a 50/50 admissions policy...a big improvement; 31 March, 2010 00:12
Easy and Elegant Life said...: Right out of "Carnal Knowledge." What a difference a couple of decades will make.; 31 March, 2010 18:24
Tin-tin's phred/dad said...: Freshly back from VN in '68 I only spent a month in Chapel Hill (where the girls were FAR above average). We then moved to the UNC Charlotte area (where the girls were average right-wing conservative rednecks -- no style). I enjoyed the assignment. I don't think you kids did.

BUT, one time stands out!
You tried out for a kid's baseball team. You didn't make the "cut." When the season started, some of those who had made it failed to perform. One day the coach called me asking if you could play. I told him to talk to you! It was your decision. You told him that if you weren't good enough earlier, then they had since proved they weren't good enough for you.

It's called "Integrity." It's a rare quality. You demonstrated it at the mere age of 11! You have done so since. Most people "go along to get along." You don't.
Good on ye' John.; 01 April, 2010 12:08
tintin said...: Dad- They wanted to win. I just wanted to play. Which is why I'm not in Las Vegas paying $800 for a bottle of Beefeater and hanging with Michael Jordan who's trying to win at cards, dice, women, anything...; 06 April, 2010 19:10
