Ninth Grade Dance:
I wanted to post these two so that you would see the wonderful dress that my Mom made for my first dance. She worked on this dress for a very long time and I was really, really proud of it and her. We had fun picking out the material - it is a white background with a light pink design - the train-like on the back was pale pink. She actually had to roll the hem on the train to make the hem.
This is one of the few times you will ever see me with longer hair - yuck.
In our school system you went K - 5 for Grade School, 6-9 for Junior High and then 10-12 for High School. We may not have been the Baby Boomers yet - but our school was very large and crowded. There were 500 something in my class alone.
In Junior High I made some good friends that are still my very good friends - especially my best friend Marilyn. The night of the 9th Grade dance she was crowned the queen and I was so proud of her - I didn't mind loosing at all to her.
