Maybe I'm wrong in assuming they are typical college age, but it always surprises me seeing 18-22 year olds from the 50's looking like they are in their late 30's.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. Good stuff.

As a matter of fact, many college students around the South in the 50s were actually approaching their late 20s or early 30s as many were attending college on the GI Bill. This was true of my grandfather and all of his friends who went into the army straight out of HS and then attended school thereafter. Also explains why so many men were older than women in some marriages as these mid to late 20 years old men were meeting marrying sorority girls in their early 20s

My grandfather was in his mid to late 20s when he graduated from UNC after WWII

Maybe you're just eating too much soy.

Back when men were men, women were men, and children were men.
