Washington, D.C., circa 1948. "Trinity College. Small alcove in library on campus." 8x10 inch acetate negative by Theodor Horydczak. View full size.
This young lady is scratching out research notes with a fountain pen whose bladder could rupture or nib break at any minute, ruining her sweater, research and book. Not only that, she has her socks rolled down and almost exposing her trim ankle. Plus she has no coin in her penny loafers to let people know about her love life.
Penny = Looking
Nickel = Going Steady
