A surprise in my old draft card

Over the weekend I was poking through the knee-hole drawer of my desk and turned up my Selective Service Draft registration card. The date on the very worn card (required to carry for life(?) I guess) was August 5, 1954, the day I turned 18. No picture, but my physical description included hair (sigh!) color (then "dark brown"), eye color, etc. One item caught my attention - weight.
