That's one thing I missed out on. Lunchboxes. My elementary school had us go home for lunch and return for the afternoon classes. Built in 1918, the school had no cafeteria or other space for kids to bring a lunch and eat it in. But by the time that Man From U.N.C.L.E. came out I would have been in Jr. high, which means carrying ANY lunchbox to school was a guaranteed razz hounding(if not butt whoopin') Sepiatone

Sepiatone For me it was clear that by "end of elementary school" it was the end for each specific person. I.e. one would be a geek (and thus made fun of), if they had such a lunchbox and brough it to school after the end of elementary school. By Jr High, (7th grade) a young man should be more interested in bras than lunchboxes.

Sepiatone The end of the lunch kit for kids of the early 1970s San Fernando Valley seems to have been with the conclusion of 3rd grade... The peer powers that were then, though, failed to wrest toy guns from my friend's and my hands before the eve of junior high.
