LOLs... I have an old picture of Earpus from the interweb. It's definitely a retro pic.

Looking at pictures of collegiates in the 60's and earlier, I always think that they look so much "older" than the collegians of today esp. when it seems like the guys and girls always look like they are ready for church.

(in regards to the whistles)
Ahh I can't read music well enough to figure out how that goes! I can only read it if someone can play the first note! Why didn't I pay more attention?!

I absolutely LOVE the polka dot dress! Fashion was so awesome in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Here is a picture from 1927 at Miami University of a group with the letters "HIM"
The letters were an acronym for The H I M (Happy Independent Maidens) Club, an organization of non-fraternity women. This was a precursor to GDI.
According to the MU website:
"Each pledge wore "a blue stocking on one leg and tan one on the other, a high heel and a low heel, dress on backwards and hair in pigtails with blue and tan ribbons in the end." H I M stands for Happily Independent Maidens."

I really can't get over the hair from the different eras! I can't wait to hear what my (future) kids have to say about the fashion choices of my generation.
