Square-ass Pat Boone with a foppy shoulder satchel for his nerdy field goggles draped over the shoulder is a GREAT way to market campus wear to the kids!
What the hell is up with those geriatric looking orthopedic velcro straps over his bucks??

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
I would have liked Pat to bump into the Junior Vice Lords (maybe whilst filming a TV special in Chicago). They could have then beat him to a pulp for his version of A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop. And smashed his binocluars.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
Boone was the typical clean cut "boy next door" teen idol.
It's a shame what he did to Fats Domino's or Little Richard's songs...
The ad is certainly not cool, but it's an interesting example of Boom Years celebrity advertising.

I think those are McNairy.
Interesting ad. "School entrance requirements are easily met" sounds like aspirational marketing to me.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
The use of P Boone suggests they were marketing towards parents buying for their kids, rather than marketing towards the kids themselves. Although perhaps the youth did not consider P Boone to be as repulsive as he blatantly was.
