The Pee-Chee was standard equipment all through my schooling in the 1960s and early 1970s. The manila card stock folder never varied in design from year to year.
In a drawing I made while bored in the back row in Mr. Heay's 7th grade home room at Washington Jr. High in Olympia, Washington, you can see I visually documented the ever-present Pee-Chee in the classroom landscape.
I'm not sure how many years I used the same Pee-Chee, but it was at least three since I recall I had the thing all the way through the years at Olympia High School (grades 10-12 in those days). It might even date back to junior high, but I can't recall.
As you can see, Pee-Chees were designed to be disposable. The original design had been completely obliterated within a very short time. I retired the thing when I began college.
Hey Morty:
ReplyDeleteA blogger buddy of mine pointed me to your site to regard your Pee Chee folder. Epic!
I would love to have it added to my Flickr group, School Sucks! Pee Chee Folder Art From The '70s and '80s. Let me know if you're interested. If you'd like to share any outstanding memories of your Pee Chee that would be even better! Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon!
