I graduated a long time ago 1960. I paid $16.00 to rent a white jacket and pants , paid for out of the money I earned in the tobacco fields of Southern Maryland, I drove the 1951 Buick Special I had bought for $300.00 and had that bad boy shining like a new dollar, but then I always kept it shined. I think the corsage cost me $6.00 and of course her mother pinned it on my date as she didnt want me getting that close to the Mams that early in the evening. LOL
Sounds like me in 1965 – but I had bought the white dinner jacket a couple years before, and drove an old Ford Falcon. Money I earned shoveling snow, cutting grass and working summer as a parking lot attendant.
