1980 Report Card

Posted to Flickr on 26 October 2010.

At the end of my fourth grade year in Denton, Texas I received this report card from my teacher Mrs. Swafford. Technically referred to as a "Progress and Achievement Report," it came, as all of my elementary school report cards did, enclosed in an envelope printed by the First State Bank of Denton, an icon of the community whose logo was imprinted on countless textbook covers over the years.

My mom recently turned over a box containing this report card to me. Also tucked inside the envelope was my old library card from the Emily Fowler Public Library, complete with a metal plate containing my identification number. High tech!

These are some of many curious items collected in JD’s House of Miscellany.

My report card and library card have also been spotted in these places:

Have you seen this photo somewhere else? Or are you using it yourself? I would love to hear from you! It's always fun to learn where my photos turn up.
