My sisters and I attended Catholic schools until grade 12. For the most part school uniforms were required. However, on weekends, my sisters and parents engaged in hand to hand combat primarily about hemlines and teased hair. They still have vivid memories of these skirmishes although they occurred in the 1960’s. Men usually don’t have these memories. All I remember is my Mom occasionally pulling me close so she could sniff what I was wearing. If I didn’t smell bad I was dressed appropriately. Your brief stories and illustrations certainly bring back memories.
