When I went, no jeans of any kind, girls skirts at knne lenght or below, no “tight” sweaters for girls (that pretty much sucked”, no sneekers except in gym class, no more then one button undone on shirt or blouse amd after a warning boys would be sent home if their hair was to long. DA’s were allowed but the hair had to be properly combed.
Now you have an idea of my age. This was a public school.
Ahh yes, I remember those days...good times...good times :-)
I was a Senior in high school, in 1970-71, before we girls were allowed to wear pants, and those had to be part of a ‘pants suit’. This was MS, so not being allowed to wear pants must have really been awful for girls in the northern climes. Even the most toasty tights just don’t do the trick.
OK, maybe you’re older than I am, but I remember coming back to my public high school in Nashville, and one of my classmates had grown a mustache over Christmas break. Our Latin teacher wouldn’t let him into her class until he’d shaved it off.
Somewhere in my ballpark, no doubt; sounds real familiar!
One of the rules: "Beards, if worn must be at least 32 inches long. Otherwise it is more manly to be clean shaven."
I’m 75 and went to public school and have no idea what a DA is!
