What is a pee chee folder?

Answer 1

Pee-chee folders, made by Mead Corporation, were used by school students in the 1960s and 1970s to carry their classroom papers. They were made out of buff-colored card stock and had drawings on them depicting athletes participating in various sports (running, tennis, Baseball, etc).

The inside had vertical pockets that would keep your papers together (vertical pockets were good because, unlike the horizontal pockets in most of today's folders, they would keep your papers intact if you happened to drop the folder upside down). The inside pockets had all sorts of useful information printed on them, like units of measurement and a multiplication table.

Most students covered their pee-chees with graffiti, stickers, etc. Mead stopped making them for a time, but they're now available again. Note that they come in many colors now, but the goldenrod color is the closest to the original.
