HOLY FARK THIS IS MY HIGH SCHOOL

Dwyer? What the hell are you doing? What happened to the good old days when we used to flash the opposing basketball team to distract them?

Did not expect to read this overseas on a Saturday morning.

/PD SAINTS!

I should probably add that Dwyer rocks as a high school. Best in the Dirty 'Shwa for sure.

I mean, if they are so stuck up on the modesty bit, why aren't the school uniforms just formless baggy pants and tops? Why the tease?

Yes, I know many of the "non-catholic" schoolgirls dress like sluts too but at least they're not hypocrites about it.


At Dwyer we were not allowed to wear trousers until 1996, I think. Then they brought in grey ones like the guys. I actually preferred the kilt because I thought the tights were warmer in the winter. Most of the girls wore boxer shorts under the kilt anyway - just for those windy days.

To me, particularly in the GM kind of labour-ish type place that Oshawa was (say, more 10 years ago than it is now - although it's hurting again with GM) the uniform was about equality. It was about everyone wearing the same thing - no competition for brand names, no worrying about who had what. That's a bit why I liked it. If you wanted to be an individual, you had to be a bit more creative as to how you went about it.

But I will admit, although we had strict regulations about kilt length, that didn't stop some girls from rolling their kilts. Hence the expression "it's a kilt not a belt". But that didn't have much to do with the Catholic Church or school board.

And all of the sluts went to Monsignor Pereyma. (Where the P stands for pregnant.)
