I hang stuff from the mirror, but I never got a "Tassel".... I left high school in the 10th grade, took my GED, and was in the US Navy 5 days after I turned 17.
I`m now retired after 25 years as a County Electrical Inspector. Not bad for a high school drop-out. College is to "Indoctrinate", not "Educate".
I still have mine from 1968 that DID hang from MANY of my old cars back in the day. Now it sits in a jewelry box with my class ring that looks like new from being wrapped in Angora. You old guys will understand what that means.
The only time I hung anything from my rear view mirror was in 1966 when I hung my graduation cap tassel in my 66 Impala when I graduated from High School. Didn't stay long but it was a thing back them.
I use to to hang my Handicapped permit. The problem is that on a Convertible the lowlife's like to steal them.
Nobody I know hangs their graduation tassels on their mirror. Not even recent graduates do that around here. I have never understood why anyone would hang them in their car..
My High school and College graduations were so long ago they would have been bleached white, kind of like my hair.... I never saved them so it really doesn't matter....
My older brother graduated high school in 1978. I stole his graduation tassel because I discovered that if I turned the “78” medallion on it upside down, it looked like “82”, my class year. So I hung that tassel with the upside down medallion from the rear view mirror of my 1972 Skylark (air shocks, Cragars, etc.) throughout high school.
And forty years after my high school graduation, I still wear my class ring regularly. I have a baseball player on the side of mine.
l assume you are still in the town your high school is in? also makes a diff. i drove through murraysville PA twice since i left there 3 years after high school.
This is too funny!! I went to a car show in my 76 some years ago. After walking around looking at the cars, I returned to my car to see a pair of white fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror! Yes - it was funny!! No one ever owned up to it but let's just say they didn't stay there long!!!!!
Not to rain on the parade but hanging stuff from the mirror may be illegal in your state. It is in Minnesota, Illinois, Arizona, California, Pennsylvania and Texas AFAIK.

Why? Fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror of a classic car is nostalgic icon item. You used to see them very often on classics at car shows along with bobble head dog and cats with eyes that lighted up with the tail, brake and turn signals on the rear package shelf. Lots of items like that and others such as steering wheel spinner *****, chrome curb feelers, fender skirts, dual rear antennas etc. I though most on this site were old enough to remember and appreciate these things.

There’s a lot going on in some colleges (and below) these days that involves indoctrination, but as as a person with a Master’s Degree and as a college instructor, I think I’ll defend people with degrees and those who are working on them. There’s plenty of education in college. It’s not true that it’s not to educate.
