I went to high school in the late '60's, class of 1970 (just dated myself :) ). We lived in the greater Kansas City area (suburb on the Kansas side). I'm afraid I do not remember to much about boy's hair, altho some did have it a little shaggy. We didn't have anyone running around with a ruler but as a general rule skirts were not supposed to be to far above the knee. I remember some of the cheerleaders could get away with very short ones on game day. My mother made a lot of my clothes some hem length was her choice :). Naturally I rolled my waistlines :) :). What I do remember is pants for girls! We were not allowed to wear any all through my high school years and the seniors really started agitating for them. One of our arguments was that it was cold standing waiting for the bus :). To make a point, some of us wore maxi-skirts to school. Naturally, the year *after* I graduated they lifted the dress code and pretty much anything was fair game. I remember visiting a year later and it was a sea of denim!
