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.

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.

With my blue cat's eye glasses I didn't really turn any heads. Next day back to the jock that I was!
Thanks for the memories!
