M-fay love the quote. Everyone is worried about their scraps. They all look wonderful That's what is great about scrappy. Ok I was a teen in the sixties in San Francisco,Cal. Remember the big hair and Cher type black eyeliner.LOL. I also had the med blue one piece gym suit like shown in the picture,except it also had elastic in the legs not just the waist. I had to embroider my name on the left chest pocket and also on the stupid white bobby socks. Also had to write my name on my white tennis shoes. Like someone is going to steel that ugly stuff.LOL It was awful to play ball and get sweaty then have to shower with 30 other girls and try to fix your hair out to there and put make-up back on for the next class. I remember when pantyhose finally were made. No more seams on the backs of stockings and no more garter belts. Now guys love them.They probably liked them back then too but they didn't have to wear them.This was before you could wear pants or long skirts to school.

Me too, I was so glad when I got to high school and we wore navy blue shorts and white blouses. My junior high gym suit also had the elastic in the legs.

I loved PE also Honchey, I was very athletic!

Had to share in the walk down memory lane. We didn't have to wear the one piece, thank goodness. I have a very long body and I know from my experiences with one piece bathing suits what that feels like. We had two piece snap front outfits. They came in maroon, blue and the sickest yellow (looked like it had been washed with something black). Guess what color I had? They were assigned by year in school, so I wore that color for six years. They had elastic bloomer legs that were supposed to tuck under the leg hem. The progression through the six years was really funny. Most of us wore the same set for all the years. Usually started out in 7th grade being shapeless and oversized, needless to say by 12th grade they were anything but oversized. What started out being modest, by graduation was anything but.

Good for you Honchey.
Now FB's not a big deal with me...but love Cyclone BB.. My Baseball player GS still can not fathom Gma getting into a catcher's position let alone throw a softball across to second.
No HS girls athletics in my home state it so we played on town leagues. Guess my school was a little more progressive white button up shirts and red shorts. Red always had to be washed separate or everything was pink....

I am done with clues #1 and #2. Did not trim dogears yet. Glad I caught this train, but quite a few calories in the dining car. I brought some iced tea if you are interested. Waiting sort of patiently for Saturday.

Mary you hit it right on with the type of gym suit. Mine was like that too with elastic in the legs of the medium blue snap up suits. We had to have our names on them too. I thought that was funny. I was living in Chicago during those years.

Amazing what a common thread those gym suits were. I already described mine and can only be thankful that we didn't have the elastic legs. OMG. They would have hit right at the fattest part of my leg. I guess thing can always be worse.

Yep, waiting for Saturday, which is also Visit Your Local Quilt Store Day, and mine is having a sale of 25% off everything. Guess I'd better go look. Here's clue #2.
