[QUOTE="ksm, post: 719704, member: 12511"] A few more memories... All the girls had a sewing and a cooking class. Many of the girls sewed their own clothes. Most were very simple skirts with elastic and I remember making a reversible vest. Also made a weird wrap dress that had three arm holes. Lol! Typing class was very hard! You had to use white out...and the teacher marked you down for corrections. By end of high school we did have electric typewriters. We used empty tin cans with the bottoms cut out as curlers...so we could try to force our curly hair to be straight! I don't know how we slept! We had to wear skirts and dresses until my sophomore year...but it couldn't be "jeans". I was sent home once to change, because my tan pants with a small navy stripe had a double stitched inseam...thus, I was wearing jeans! I think the world was kinder then. I know that I wasn't friends with every one, we just didn't hang out, but no one was rude to me. I never felt that I was picked on. Wish my granddaughters had the same experience. Ksm [/QUOTE]
