[Magdalen] this morning at the Eucharist

[Sibyl Smirl]

And I wore jeans from my earliest memories throughout grade school (two 
room school, two teachers: we were a LARGE rural school!)and high 
school, any day, at will.  And throughout college as well.  I did also 
wear dresses, skirts, slacks, etc.  We never had a dress code, except 
our common sense (which was more common in teens in those days).  One 
girl got into trouble one time, one of the highest status girls in the 
school, when she wore a pair of shorts so short that anyone below her on 
the stairs could see whatever was to be seen.

I did wear a necktie with my band uniform.  My father taught me to tie 
it properly.  No slip, however, everybody except twirlers wore trousers. 
  And the twirlers didn't wear slips, either.  Very short skirts, with 
something like trunks in matching fabric underneath.
