>1. Mini-skirts: Girl's skirt lengths were measured I graduated high school in 1968. Our skirts could be no shorter than the width of a business envelope above the knee. The principal carried one in his pocket and did random spot checks between classes and at lunch. If your skirt was too short, they pinned strips of obnoxious patterned fabric to the hem of your skirt and you had to wear it the rest of the day. Three infractions and you got detention and suspension from extra curricular activities. We were very adept at rolling them up at the waist and then dropping them down as soon as he turned the corner.
>2. Girls' pants: When were girls' allowed to wear pants to school. >Pants-suits, hiphuggers? The only girls who could wear pants to school were members of the high school band on the days we had a concert or other band activity that required a band uniform. >3. Boys' Hair: Allowed to wear long hair Boy's hair styles are still pretty short at this time and in this area (Gettysburg, PA). Heck - we still had a few guys who wore DA's! >4. Boy's mustaches: When allowed No facial hair like mustaches or beards, but a few guys had some awesome sideburns.
