Even at the school for the Blind, we were told the thing about the patent
shoes. I know the way guys used to polish their shoes in the military, I don't think this would have even been true there. "Sherry" wrote in message ...

I wonder how many people actually believed such stories? It was in our school uniform code! We were not allowed patent leather shoes because men could see the reflection of your knickers in them! My school uniform code- it was 30 pages or so long.....Just one example - everything had to have a name tape sewn into it- my mother swore she ruined her eyesight doing those tapes! Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs The only things I remember about our school dress code handbook is, with our arms at our sides, our dresses couldn't be shorter than 1" below the fingertips. (that's pretty short!!!)....Boys' hair could not touch their collar. Twenty years later, my daughter's school handbook said things like "Underwear must not be worn as outerwear". I'd *never* heard the patent-leather thing! That's a scream. Sherry |

Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs That reminds me of a story I once heard, about a little girl on her first day at school, she told her mother when she got home that the boys kept looking at her knickers, so she took them off. ;-) I think childrens logic can be amusing sometimes. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy, Bagheera & Shadow) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

(that's pretty short!!!)....Boys' hair could not touch their collar. You must have been in high school around the same time I was. Skirt length on girls and hair length on boys were the main concerns at the time. We had a hawk-eyed prude working in the principle's office who would stand right outside the office and glare at the hems of the girls' skirts as we walked by. Anyone wearing one considered too short was nabbed and made to sit "on the bench". (The bench right inside the principle's office, it was analogous to being "detained".) In the fall of 1969, school dress codes were declared illegal in the United States, so the hawk-eye didn't have much to do after that. Twenty years later, my daughter's school handbook said things like "Underwear must not be worn as outerwear". LOL!

I wonder how many people actually believed such stories? The somewhat elderly "old maid" Dean of Women at my liberal arts college (back in the late 1940's) told her Freshman girls' seminar we should never wear red, because it excited men's baser nature. :-) (No, we didn't ALL wear red the next day - some of us didn't happen to have any red garments in our wardrobes.) |
