Pee-Chees were also big on the entire West Coast. I had them going to school in Washington State.
And I also remember the Trapper Keeper! I had one of those as well. Wish I still had it, too! I know they still sell the Trapper Keeper, but I recall the original designs. They were pretty cool, and quite handy. Now that I’m teaching English, I can tell you there’s nothing like that here in Europe, unless you want to go an office-supply store and pay and arm and a leg for an organizer, typically, leather-bound here.
Wow, I’m glad someone other than a Colorado person remembers. :) I can’t recall offhand what the original Trapper Keepers looked like, but I’m sure I would remember them if I saw them. It’s kind of coming into my mind, but not quite. Lol...on the tip of my brain. I’ll have to try to search on the web and see if I can come up with anything.
Yes, that is what was starting to come to my mind (see below for images). Didn’t they have velcro that kept them closed?
Yes, PeeChee’s at West High in Bremerton, class of ‘65.
