The holes were at the top of the paper sheet and the paper was perforated so you could tear it out with a neat edge. <br /><br />I LOVED my Nifty binder. As far as I know, they are long out of production--along with the paper. But in 1959, they were the real deal.<br /><br />And pens??? I must have hundreds. Just like a magnet, I end up in the pen aisle.Anny Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305873753916213970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-71799998143682432482010-09-30T07:47:36.112-04:002010-09-30T07:47:36.112-04:00Oh, the trapper keeper!!!

I'm old enough to remember the days before back packs were cool.

And yes, I still prefer to write in pencil over pen (though I've got a lovely pen collection too).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-23249942015347525262010-09-28T11:44:00.579-04:002010-09-28T11:44:00.579-04:00I buy this stuff all year long.

It was a <i>Trapper Keeper,</i> damn it! That was like the 1987 Louboutin of school supplies. Mine was magenta and purple and teal and featured a tropical sunset motif. Which was very much the same vibe as my Pogo Ball, now I think of it…Cara McKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654280974490334457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-29356695058143182702010-09-28T11:11:35.345-04:002010-09-28T11:11:35.345-04:00I still have trapper keepers filled with stories I...I still have trapper keepers filled with stories I wrote in high school. LOL I love Traper Keepers so! And notebooks with various pictures on them. There are some awesome Alice in Wonderland ones I have my heart set on as soon as the price drops some more! And accordion folders! Yes, I stalk the back to school clearance too. ;) <br /><br />Those "erasable" pens... I recall that they left giant holes in my paper. heheLesley Spellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752962065518940782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-15714747824635185862010-09-28T11:06:58.566-04:002010-09-28T11:06:58.566-04:00I loved my trapper!

I bought all my textbooks from Amazon (2 Kindle versions and 2 dead tree) and no pencils, notebooks, or calculators. My MacBook Pro has replaced them all.<br /><br />However, plaid skirts and Mary Janes are still acceptable attire.Ann Brucehttp://www.annbruce.netnoreply@blogger.com
