I grew up in So Cal (1952) and us girls prayed for rain (which seldom happened) cuz that meant a "Yellow Flag Day." If the school hung out a yellow flag -- it meant the girls could wear pants that day. Sheesh!!!

I forgot all about the no pants for girls rule! We had to walk almost a mile and in MN in the winter it was cold. We could wear pants under our dresses, but had to take them off once we got to school and hang them on a hook in the hallway with our coats. On the last day of school the girls were allowed to wear "nice slacks", but the boys got to wear jeans for the last day. I still hate that word..."slacks".
