You are an old goat, LOL Duck tails were in, and we called them Ducks ass...depends on where you live I guess, but it had to take a while for the guys to get them just right...Those were the cool guys, the others had brush cuts...and white bucks...:O) I graduated in 1957, hubby in 1955

'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 went to school in Detroit (Pershing High School) before it became the rust belt.

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)
