Show ~ DEAR ABBY ~ Revise Sch ool Code _ For ‘Granny’ Dress By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: Today I wore a granny dress to school. After lunch I was called to the principal’s office. He had the audacity to complain about my dress. We have a dress code at our school and it doesn’t say anything about long dresses but, in either case, the principal doesn’t go by the dress code anyway. MAKES DECISION He makes all the decisions when there is a question. The thing that burns me up is you don’t get yelled at for wearing short, tight skirts, or even the boys for not wearing socks, but I get yelled at for wearing a granny dress because it’s too long. Tomorrow I will wear a real short, tight skirt and not one word will be said. Please print this and tell me what to do. I won’t take this from him! — GRANNY DEAR what “GRANNY”: a short My fuse you have Don’t provoke a revolution, bu do suggest that the code be re vised to include the grann dress, a : MOST MODEST FAD Whatever else may be sai about it, it is certainly the mos modest fad that has come alons for teen-age girls in a long time.
