Trapper Keeper
Did anybody else have a Trapper Keeper back in the day? I remember mine—it had overlapping red, yellow, blue, and green rectangles under a plastic cover.
In second or third grade, my elementary school banned Trapper Keepers. Apparently the velcro was so noisy that it disrupted class. This would have been about 1992. I get the feeling they banned something else that year, too, but I can’t remember what it was.
Later, in maybe fifth grade, I had a green fabric-covered binder that zipped all the way around. I guess clipping papers into the holes was too much trouble sometimes.
Nothing profound to say here, just remembering.
