And NO pants on the women. They all wore dresses.

Let me assure you we ALL wore pants. We didn’t wear slacks to work, however, until in the 80’s and only then if they fit the dress code. Had to have a jacket which matched and it had to be left on all day long. We had a management staff meeting on Monday and we women who attended all wore dresses, stockings, heels, the whole garb that day. No pants suits allowed in the Board room.

The funniest thing I remember occurred when hot pants came in style. One of our young keypunch operators wore a pair to work. Boss told her she had to go home and change so she took some scissors, went in the bathroom and cut the crotch out of them. A skirt was fine, but no hot pants.

Times have really changed.
