This is the fun side of Facebook: when I reconnect with schoolmates I had lost touch with for decades and then they share photos like this: Randy Knight, Ralph Kidwell, yours truly, and Adell Park, posing for a yearbook photo.
I’m pretty sure every single girl at Thomas Russell Junior High School owned a pair of Mary Jane shoes; however, I’m surprised that Adell got away with wearing a skirt that many inches above her knees!
Yes, those were the days when teachers would use a ruler to measure how short your skirt was. And, yes, those were the days when the girls demonstrated to be able to wear pants to school during wintertime.
It truly was different world.
