@moxie11 Rolling up your skirt! I forgot about that! My Spanish teacher sent me to the principal for a short skirt, and I rolled it down on the way to his office. He sent me home anyway!! Mom wanted to kill me!
I was told in high school that my granny dress was inappropriate, and yet mini skirts and dresses were acceptable! They couldn't send me home, since I lived 20 miles away and rode the school bus, but was told never to wear a long dress again.

@Caligurll

Imagine a mini being ok but a maxi not. Strange.

I remember Mimeograph machines in grade school that our teachers used to make paper copies. Loved the smell of the copies as they came off the machine! And how about the typewriters that were used in high school typing classes....or how about the 1st televised presidential debate between JFK and Nixon?!

@jannabelle1

I’m old enough to have used a mimeo when I started teaching. The smell was definitely unique. I remember when the school bought the first Xerox machine. The teachers were so thrilled, but...we soon figured out the secretaries got it to themselves in the school office. What did they do for us? They moved the mimeo machine to the teachers’ lounge. Oh, the smell of making copies while I ate my lunch. LOL!

When I was first married, I moved to my husband's small, rural town from the suburbs of NYC, where I grew up. To make a phone call we had to lift the receiver, wait for the operator, and then give her the three digit number we were calling. I felt like I was in an old movie. Just a few years later, the town changed to 7 digit numbers which we called ourselves. I kind of missed that old fashioned way of making a call.
