Gosh yes, I remember those days too. When in junior high and high school you wore skirts or dresses and you had to wear socks or stockings! I walked to junior high, it was nearly two miles as we didn't fit the mileage for a bus.
I remember getting my first pair of stockings in 8th grade and could wear them to church only! And yes dresses/skirts were the dress for church always!
Going out on a date was a big thing, what to wear, how to fix hair, nails polished and perfume (toilet water really )
Those were the good ole days!

When my mother passed away in 1985 we found some of those ration books tucked back in a corner of her bureau.
