Pee Chee Folder Art: Face... how low can you go?
Here's another one I caught in the wild today! Judging by the Public Enemy reference (Public Enemy #1 and lyric), I'm guessing circa 1991, although the appearance of other bands lead me to believe that perhaps this folder may have been used since the mid- to late '80s.
Found on a quick Google; source appears to be LT Anderson (@RogueChangers on Twitter), although I couldn't find it in his immediate feed. I'm also not on Twitter, so I could only see a limited portion of his material.
Three elements of note for me:
1. The "Babe I love you!" quote at the top reminds me of how nice and neat the penmanship was of nearly every girl I knew back in jr. high and high school. The cursive letterforms were so well-rounded and all the strokes were done to the tee. Back then you could always tell a girl's handwriting from the boys.
2. I like how someone wrote "Motley Crüe Girls, Girls, Girls" (perhaps as a follow-up or addition to the rest of the bands on the folder), only to have it scratched out. Something tells me it was an unauthorized entry, judging by the handwriting.
3. "SCANTRON 884" is a direct reference to a Scantron test form that was commonly used for tests back then (as they probably still are today). I wonder if that was scrawled onto the folder as a quick reminder to get one for an upcoming test in class.
4. Speaking of reminders, it wasn't uncommon for people to write them on Pee-Chee folders back in the day. "START 2nd SPEECH APRIL 12 w/#10" seems to be another one, perhaps for an upcoming oral presentation?
The reinforced Filament Strapping Tape on the spine is also a nice touch—yet another testament to the things we students would do in order to preserve and protect our Pee Chees. A little bit went a long way.
