A purse, lost 65 years, provides a glimpse into the life of a 1954 teen

A purse, lost 65 years, provides a glimpse into the life of a 1954 teen

Martha Everett didn't mean to provide a time capsule to the people of Jeffersonville, Ind. She simply lost her purse, which has now been found. It contains the artifacts of a lost generation of high school teenagers: lipstick ('made in New York', it said), wrappers of Juicy Fruit gum, the school's basketball schedule, a ribbon for the mile relay, bus schedule, a mirror, her Social Security card, a note asking her to the prom.
