[QUOTE=SpazCat] Why were (patent leather shoes) banned? [/QUOTE] They supposedly allowed the viewer to “see up” a girl’s skirt to her underwear. [A book](http://loyolaclassics.loyolapress.com/LoyolaClassics_DoBlackPatentLeatherShoes.html) and [subsequent musical](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Black_Patent_Leather_Shoes_Really_Reflect_Up%3F) about children attending Catholic school in 1950’s Chicago took their common title from this bit of lore. ---

Is paper and notebook gonna be the same thing, 'cause ultimately you have material in a collection that can be used to write down stuff – homework, doodles, notes for class and notes for passing? **DR** , circle yes or no and then have Betsy pass this back to Abigail, who’ll give it to Samantha, who, in fourth period will leave it on David’s desk, who will then slip it to Boris, who, during P.E. will give it to me. Don’t tell anybody else your answer. **Yes** or \*\* No\*\* ---
