I remember doing this too. I had white fingernail polish too. I must have looked like a corpse.

I graduated the same year as Moonrise! The big hair was from HAIRSPRAY, I think! Aquanet....remember that stuff? Made your hair as hard as cardboard, lol!

Stirup pants bellbottoms and mohair wrapped around your boyfriends class ring.

I graduated in 1974, looking at the yearbook, 95% of the girls and 50% of the boys had long, straight hair parted in the middle. (mine was wavy, sorry).

Late 60's, we used to wear nylons (pantyhose hadn't reached the midwest yet) with white cotton sneakers. And you had to polish those sneakers with white shoepolish every night, which quickly rotted the cotton.

And remember when the Mary Quandt (?) fad came out and all the girls cut their hair short on one side and long on the other? And wore a-line dresses made of four big solid squares on the front (geometric look). Or, with the Beatles the latest craze, we all work black turtlenecks for awhile.

HaHaHaHa - those are sooo funny

BUT remember we all had to
WALK TO SCHOOL - BOTH WAYS - IN THE COLD AND SNOW
- UP HILLS - BOTH WAYS!!!!
No bus service for us. - Luckily when we got to 2nd year of high school kids started driving!

Yes we walked and walked home for lunch! I lived a mile from School and it WAS uphill. We also walked in the rain! now they pick the kids up on nearly every corner! No driving except a couple times in my senior year Mom let me take the car.

I graduatedin '68. I remember not being able to wear jeans to school -- HAD to wear skirts or dresses and they could not be more than 3" above the knee! GRANNY GOWNS!!!!!!! Yes, those were dresses that went all the way to the floor! One fad I remember that I can't figure out yet why was wearing our jackets off our shoulders, more like a shawl. ugh! And "closed campus" -- we couldn't leave the school grounds during the lunch hour.....

'74. In northeast Iowa. We had to wear dresses. It was cold standing by the highway waiting for the school bus. By the time I was in highschool we could wear pants as long as they weren't jeans.

We shared a locker with one other person and no one had locks. I don't remember anyone having anything stolen either.

OH MY GOD the Blue cat eye glasses! I hate them sooo! To this day I need glasses and the reason I haven't gone, them!! Teased. I see my pic's from back then and I'm all glasses and knobby knees. :lol: 8-)
