Or was this simply some warm-and-fuzzy included in the plots of pre-1950 romantic comedies featuring someone like Mickey Rooney? "Say Maribelle, I think you're swell. Kin I be your fella?" Maribelle unloads her books into his waiting arms. It's curious that the guy never had his own books. I guess homework wasn't part of the guys' priorities in those flix.
On the other hand, this ritual of carrying missies' books was alluded to in songs as late as the early '60s, e.g., "Tra La La La Suzy," and even in Larry Williams' gritty 1958 rocker "Slow Down." So maybe it did happen.
Just that I never saw this in Realsville and was wondering if it was just myth
