tsk, the sock's aren't knee high! *g*
I remember having to kneel down so that the nuns could see that the hem would touch the floor. Girls would often roll the waist of the skirts a few times to shorten the skirts after inspection.
High School was a different kind of monster.... loved the jeans, hated the bell bottoms.
Skorts would solve the problem without loosing the 'kilt' look.
