There was 5 of us girl's in school who decided to change the dress code. We wore our Levi's. The school called our parents to bring us appropriate clothing. They did on the 1st day but for the next 5 school days we sat in the office. My Mom finally told them that she felt jeans were more appropriate than mini skirts and if they did not let us attend classes she was going to the news station. We won but we were only allowed to wear ''dress jeans'' which were jeans with out the double seam on the outside of the legs. They did not exist back then so we kept wearing our undressy jeans.That was in 1969-7th grade. Us 5 were labeled 'The Rabble Rouser's' by the girls counselor in the year book. Years later I ran into her and she told me she was proud of us for standing our ground and getting rid of the mini skirts.
