'57 is my year too!!!CMHS, Waukesha, Wis. the style was ivy league...button down shirt collars, pegged slacks (black) and "spade or snap-jack" shoes...VERY SHARP. My clothing in my after school mode was far classier than what I see kids wearing to school today. When will schools figure out that clothing can control much behavior and that the school, not the crumb-crunchers, make the rules.
I also use to peg my own slacks on my mothers sewing machine...it was a good peg if you could just fit your foot into the bottom of the slacks..from there they were pegged looser up a little past to the knee...good golly, its been decades OUCH. Us girls pegged our slacks, and yep black slacks..OUCHY AGAIN. over 1/2 century ago.....Yikes..
Met my future husband in high school, he was a senior and I was in the 10th grade. He loved his blue suede shoes and one of the girls in music appreciation class loved flopping her rosin bag on his shoes during class...She wore the white bucks.....
Music appreciation was a class for extra credit...(I needed the extra credit, he took it to avoid a study hall)
That class was the first time I heard "Its cherry pink and apple blossom white" I think it was Pres Prado sp/ record...anyone could bring in their favorite record and then the class discussed that record...Haven't thought of that in decades either...LOL
As Bob Hope use to say,.....thanks for the memories. :O)
