hmm.. by the time i was a junior in high school i remember everyone just carried around a binder and a book for their next class or two. i can't remember if it was because having a backpack became uncool, or the school mandated no backpacks because of columbine. i do specifically remember trenchcoats were not allowed and one very likeable and somewhat popular kid had to give his up (that was sort of his "look"). anyone remember?
