[Magdalen] this morning at the Eucharist

[Jay Weigel]

The first couple of years my daughter went to Knoxville Catholic High
School, the girls rolled their skirts and wore boxers underneath. Then the
principal suddenly decided that skirts should be knee length. The girls
almost unanimously immediately took the other (legal) option and for the
rest of Betsy's time at school, everyone wore khaki or navy slacks. I don't
know what they're wearing now.
