This photo in the November 1961 Chronicle (page three) accompanies an article about new girls physical education instructor Frances White. Kind of a hodge-podge of socks and sneakers (even a pair of saddle shoes in the rear) on the girls. Whatever happened to uniforms? 🙂

Page one reports on the new Pantherpix, i.e., the first-ever. We were apparently only the third class to have what was called the school’s “Memory book.” And page four has an item about the introduction of CHS commercial students to the “latest typewriters” by IBM.  Yup, the Selectric. (Though the caption refers to it as the “Selective.”) Mentioned is the presence of “built-in memory.” “[I]f two characters are typed at one time, the second will not print until the first one has been recorded.” Maybe 14 bytes of memory?

Doesn’t this make you feel old?

Here’s the November 21, 1961, Chronicle
