White Bucks and Paper Dixie Cups
I remember wearing white buck shoes. It was one of the main items for that "Ivy League Style". No one would wear them in public until they were properly scuffed up first. Every casual party had paper dixie cups. School year books during this period would usually show students sporting those straw hats for a variety of themed parties such as a Li'l Abner Sadie Hopkins Day Dance.
