The story of Secret Note Origami
Every serious note writer had a signature fold. The tight triangle could be flicked across three rows like a tiny paper football. The tuck-flap envelope said this one is private. Teachers who intercepted a note had to unfold it for five minutes, which gave everyone plenty of warning to look innocent.
The rarest fold, the star, took ten minutes to make and was reserved for birthday notes only.
