(5 years younger) was wearing jeans to school. We had to wear skirts; most of us wore hose or tights (occasionally knee sox)

I graduated in 1966 and she finished in 1971.

When I was in elementary school, we wore dresses on even the coldest days. We were allowed to wear long pants only if they were under our skirts.

My freshman year of college, the women had won the right to wear jeans in the cafeteria on weekends. The men had to wear ties to Sunday dinner so we could wear our jeans.
