Dream - For a student, exams are important and must be prepared for to the maximum. Although they do not determine graduation, the exams held at the end of the semester will determine the final GPA recorded on the diploma.

Not only in the present era, it turns out that semester exams during college have existed since long ago. History enthusiast, Saddam Hussein, or known by the account @mazzini_gsp on X (Twitter), recently posted an old photo showing students from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) taking an exam. It is known that the moment was captured around the 1960s by a photographer named Harrison Forman.

"Please be quiet, there are students from Gadjah Mada University who are currently taking an exam. Estimated in the 1960s By Harrison Forman."

"Mobile Phone Appearance"

In the portrait, there is an interesting thing captured by the camera. An object suspected to be a mobile phone is next to the student along with other items.

Create a Sensation

Suddenly netizens were amazed, many of them considered the student to be a time traveler.

"Turns out it's a Wallet"

However, @samiedh's account explained that it is likely a long wallet or what is called a breast wallet. The wallet is made of worn genuine leather, so when it is exposed to camera flash, it appears shiny. That's why it's not surprising that netizens mistook the object for a mobile phone.

"Mahasiswa Tampil Anggun dan Modis" translates to "Students Look Elegant and Stylish" in English.

In addition, some netizens were also distracted by the clothes worn by the UGM student at that time. They appeared elegant wearing a dress. There were even those who wore sleeveless dresses. This made the netizens jealous because the student was allowed to wear such clothing. Their fashionable style also received praise from netizens. "Distracted by the clothes. It's so cute. Nowadays, not even allowed to wear a dress, getting expelled from class, just wear a t-shirt," said @ayuarass.

"Old Chair that Never Fades with Time"

Not only that, the teak wood chair used at that time also caught the attention of netizens. In fact, the chair is still used until now. The account @azvinl revealed in his tweet that this lecture chair is still used until the 2006s. Then, @hilmanharisw responded to the tweet by saying that he also found the chair when he entered in 2012. Apparently, this chair was still there in 2017 when students from the Faculty of Law at UGM found it, and even in 2020 when students from the Faculty of Pharmacy encountered a similar chair.
