Nobody had backpacks or "booksacks" when I was in school.

We carried them under our arm, like real men.

In the 70s St Anthony's sold these in their bookstore (and no - I am not kidding) to wrap around your books. Used it until 8th grade.

Me too. Green, rough, ugly as can be, but the strongest think around back then. The Jansport I had in college was a lot lighter and still tougher.
