I love this picture of me and It. I really was putting the hug on her!! I think I was missing some teeth!!! Oh those childhood days! I dont think we hardly ever wore shorts or pants! It is so funny, at school we meaning the girls never got to wear pants until 1972 when I was in the 12th grade and then it had to be pants suits and the tops had to be so long!!
What PRECIOUS little girls. Wish you were still that age, I’d run away with you.
I got suspended from high school once for wearing pants to school. (A nice corduroy suit with jacket and tailored blouse.) It was five degrees above zero, I had to walk about a mile each way from home, and our high school was “open plan,” meaning every single classroom opened to the outside, like a cheap motel. No interior hallways.
But the rules said “no pants for girls,” so they called my mommy and sent me home in disgrace for a day. It was the only time I was ever in trouble.

Ha ha..I remember the “no pants for girls” rule. Of course mini-skirts were very stylish – and some of them –well so much for –
“I see Paris, I see France, I see _____’s underpants!”
I could see the Paris underground system! I didn’t need an imagination they were so short!

and I meant to add….didn’t PANTS make a lot more sense in keeping order? (and preserving decency)

Hey when I was in the 9th grade they started measuring our shirts. We had to stand up straight and the teacher (female) would take a ruler and make sure it was no more than 2 inches above our kneecaps. I got sent home once for it being one inch shorter, mother being the radical she was sent me back with it shorter. Nothing was said.. I did not have to go back home. Some of us used to roll the bands of our shirts to make them shorter. I remember some of the guy standing at the bottom of the stairs to homeroom and where the typing class was.. I bet they saw France also!!! Gene you crack me up!!!!! I think of those days now and the things we had to endure and somehow.. It just don’t seem right. Look what the kids wear today!!!
