^^Is that supposed to be a joke? If so, then I don't see much humor there.

Bitsa, please don't muck up my thread.
This was started as a lookback on our younger days at school. Some of us look back and laugh at our experience in Catholic school. Many had terrible experiences and I did not mean to dredge up the bad times they had or cause any pain. Maybe this was not such a good idea for a thread after all.
I will close this thread if necessary.

It's appears the subject of this thread has caused some pain for some. That was never my intent.
We can laugh and joke all we want to about the strange things that happened in school, sitting on our chairs to let the angel have space, and the like, but there is no place to ever joke about the truly bad things that happened to some kids at the hands of the Catholic school system.
Apparently some think there is humor in everything.
I disagree and am closing the thread,

I got a couple of PM's and have re-opened the thread.
Please keep to the "lighter side" of the Catholic school stories, as that is the intent of the thread.

I'm really enjoying this one.
You said your school didn't have uniforms? We didn't when we started but around grade 4 or so they introduced them. Down the line, I guess it saved our parents a fair amount of money, but some of those outfits..................................... pretty ugly.

Catholic high school years-
Father Jeff used to go down to Georgetown (bar district in DC) with us. Drinking and dancing with the girls all night. He ticked off a few ladies by telling them rather late in the evening that he was a priest. Sometimes they didn't believe him even when he showed them his license with the collar on.
I can remember skipping school and going downtown to goof off with Father Jeff, being the good influence that he was we always stopped at one museum. We got pulled over one time on the way back so he slipped his collar on to get out of the ticket.
Yes he was bit of
Thanks for unlocking the thread.

Glad the thread reopened. BTW, my daughter HATED the uniforms. I think the parents liked the fact that we didn't have to buy a lot of school clothes. BTW, +1 has regaled me often with tales of the incredible Sister Leticia (sp??). I think every catholic school had one. She was wicked with a ruler.

I'm really glad this thread is back Lainey.
Speaking of uniforms, we boys wore green pants, a yellow shirt and solid green tie. I had to laugh when I saw my boss dressed in the perfect shades of green and yellow last week complete with the solid green tie. Of course I had to tell him.
The girls wore the obligatory checkered skirt with a matching vest and white blouse for girls 5th grade and above. K-4 girls wore a checkered jumper (really a dress, I guess) with a white blouse underneath.
The 5-8th grade girls were always rolling up the waist band of the skirt and the nuns would make them unroll it of course. I think the standard was no more than 2 inches above the knee.
I remember that "no tie day" was popular. We enacted it (with approval of course) in student council.
