Wow some of those pictures just look how I would imagine the 70's to look like. It is refresing to see, honestly. We have a law here that prohibits advertising on school campuses (at least!) but there are some loopholes too. All our classes are actually replaced by the "sponsor" so I'll often say stuff like "marketing class is at Procter&Gamble on tuesdays". And billboards are just filled with school activities related ads anyway so it's not like we'd have blank walls.
