OK, it's time for another "I remember..." post.

15. I grew up in Wisconsin

Having to wear dresses/skirts to school even in the coldest weather. We wore snowpants or jeans under them and took those off when we got to school, but if it was really cold the teachers might let you keep them on all day. (My school was built in 1905 and was sturdy but a little drafty) In winter there were rows of boots drying in the hall. By the time I got to Jr. high/ high school, we were "too sophisticated" for the pants-under-the-dresses bit, but skirts were long and we wore knee socks. Tall boots had not yet come in, but there were snow boots. We wore those and carried our shoes in special "shoe bags".

No sports for girls, and getting hauled into the office when a couple of my friends and I rolled up our skirts and ran on the track. We were lectured for being "unladylike".
