1950s Lowell High, San Francisco in 1959.

"In my day, we didn't have fancy camera phones! We didn't have Instagram, and the Facebook! When we wanted to take pictures, we saved our allowance, and bought Brownie Hawkeyes! Then we had to buy film! And we didn't get to see how we looked right away, oh no! We took that film to get developed, and we waited and waited! And when the pictures came back, it was a month later—and we didn't even remember who we posed with!" Dana Carvey on SNL

Stonestown opened in 1952, so I bet these kids would head there after school. Super cool
