Withers Elementary: 1972
And so after OJ Stivers Elementary, it was off to Withers Elementary in Dallas. How 'BOUT 'dem Cowboys! I'm dead center in the second row, with Lori Roberts and Kim McCastle front row from left. BFFs James Gehling and Todd Pickle in the row above me from left, in the navy blue and green shirts. Mrs. Cochran is your teacher today, grade 6A. Sadly, only one year here, then off to Cincinnati where we remained thru the end of grade school/middle school/high school/college. Scanned from a print. View full size.
Time Flies
Wait a minute brinke. You are in fifth grade in the 1969-70 school year, and the next (6th grade? Not sure what a 6a is) in 1972, which is presumably 1971-2 since the sign board says spring 1972.
So, what were you doing in the 1970-71 year?
Shorts
This was the year I graduated from high school. I don't know if most people are aware, but it had only recently become acceptable for girls to wear anything but dresses to school. There were many schools that allowed girls to wear long pants to school, during the coldest part of the year, but dresses or skirts, the rest of the time. During the second half of the 60s, the rebellion of the youth in our country resulted in a refusal to respect that dress code, among other things. It swept the country in a very short period of time.
