Brown-bagging it?

I think I remember something like that back in the late 50s and early 60s when I was in high school.

What a concept!

I was in school in the 50’s we didn’t have a cafetaria, we all brown bagged it.Then we folded the bag and took it home for the next day.

We didn’t have lockers either. The bag went into the desk, and hopefully when you got back to home room at lunch time you still had a lunch.

When we changed to shorts for Phys-Ed we did it in the boy’s bathroom, and we didn’t have showers, we sat in class the rest of the day in our sweat.

I belonged to the FFA rifle team and we brought our rifles to school on competition days.When there was a fight it was between two boys and no one else. It wasn’t considered polite to interrupt or get involved.We all carried ajck knives ,but we never used them in fights.A couple of us Sr.s dated the art teacher,she was only a couple of years older than us , no one thought much of it.

“Brown-bagging it?”

Somehow, that’s racist... :)

I will be 72 next month & still enjoy my brown bag lunches that are made by my wife of fifty + years. (I do have to admit that I occasionally slip out for pizza)

It’s not allowed by these profiteers of the public purse.

Many moms have made their kids nutritionally-acceptable brown bag lunches, only to have thrown away under pretenses.

Brown-bagging it? I had a 'GUNSMOKE' lunch box when I went to school.

Now my kids can - during school - open the refrigerator to grab lunch. Home schooling is better!!
