They had a pretty good selection of record albums at el cheapo prices in the 60s. (Yes, Grasshopper, music once came on large plastic disks....)

I am loving these pictures. Graduated in 1967 with BS in Mechanical Engineering. I played the trombone in the Fighting Tiger Marching Band. I keep looking to see if I show up in any of these pics. Keep them coming.

Wow, can’t say that anymore these days.
Only 2 things in life are guaranteed - death and ridiculous tuition. You can choose jail or even no income over taxes.
