Lawrence High counselor Max Stalcup said most students barred from enrollment because of overly long hair had received haircuts and had enrolled. He had several reports about the violations of the “dress code” but said no major problems were expected.

I loved Max Stalcup. He used to make me get my hair cut all the time. I wasn't allowed to the prom with my girlfriend because I had been kicked out of school for having long hair. 1968

Ah, yes, brings back memories of my high school days. It was probably in 1971, and on the first day of school, nearly 1/3 of all the boys in school were turned away for the length of their hair. What a waste of time and energy.
By the next year, the dress code was abolished.

Oh, if that was the only problem today. I remember those days. Now that I'm getting older I seem to be becoming more narrow minded. Our school has a dress code, but rarely enforces it. It might make one of these kids mad, then their parents come and complain and then they don't do well on their state testing.

They put vending machines and a juke box in after '66. I felt cheated!

I have bigger fish to fry these days. I can't believe the length of a kid's hair was such an issue back then, I'm more worried about the length of a girl's skirt these days. Can't have them attending school looking like a hoochie-mama.

Those are skirts? I thought they were just wide belts!

I went to pick my step son up from LHS about two years ago, While waiting in the parking lot, I noticed a girl wearing a very short skirt. My attention didn't stay long on the short skirt , because she didn't have any underwear on.

when i was IN high school and it was slightly more appropriate to speak to high school aged girls this way, we used to ask "Is that a shirt or an eye-patch?"
haha that is still the only real line i can think of when i see a girl wearing something nasty.
