Mft My W.. W, ., ressing for school in the morn- ing, the average student has one thought running through his mind: How much am I going to be able to get away with today? Anytime is a good time to dress ille- gally. On days when the heat seems unbearable, many students try to keep cool by not wearing socks, a crime punishable by endless theorems from Mrs. Martin or hours of D-Hall from Mrs. Elias. To keep protected from the cold in wintertime, outdoor jackets and sweatshirts are not only warm, but fashionable as well. The only problem is that they are illegal to wear. Billy Crystal once said, lt is better to look good than to feel good, and looking good is the main motive for the way many people dress or wear their hair. Dana Leonard's haircut was an excellent example of a hot fashion that is illegal at school. His two-lay- ered haircut lasted for a few days until Father Tribou ordered him to get his hair recut in a way that was a bit more conservative by Pr. T's own barber. Suspenders were another popular item to wear, but, since they serve the same purpose as a belt, they were made illegal. Forgetting to wear a belt is not only the most common dress code rule broken, but it is the easiest to break. When teachers got sick of doling out hours of D-Hall to the offenders, they found a new pun- ishment that could hurt anyone: charging money, 50 cents here and a dollar there starts to really hurt as the year grinds on. So, instead of going broke, most students just learned to dress legally. It was a tough chore, but it got a little less painful every day. Button that top button! Does Michael Baltz really have a tie on under that? Dress Code 29
