Information contact Bicentennial Committee Market St LSH The Michael Jackson crate which Is sweeping the continent if not the world is really not unlike my generation reaction lo the Beatles the Dave Clark Five Rolling Stones etc And Indeed I remember listening to Michael Jackson years ago while I did my homework Of course we were both much younger Sunday night I was watching a video his song Thriller on the television and started to laugh Here was a guy who Is described as a musical genius a rend setter hip and all those other words that seem so trite And guess what he was wearing white socks in this award winning video Perhaps the stigma with white socks was confined to the Collingwood high school back in the late 60s early 70s but to my day only true nerds wore them Better to go without than be caught dead with white socks on That a not to say Michael Jackson is a nerd What it is merely showing Is bow limes change It t until just a few years ago that I realized you were no longer considered a Jerk If you wore white socks knee socks with a dress were considered passable It Is really funny how a high school label can stick with you I still do not own a pair of socks no one going to call me a nerd least for that And of course white socks were mandatory for gym class They went so well with our blue baggy gym suits with our names splattered across the back Heaven help the person who forgot to change socks after class and dared to walk around the school with white ankle socks on By the way white running shoes were considered the second most thing to wear but they too were men for gym Mine lasted my entire four years at good old CCI mainly because they were never worn away from gym class dont know when the white socks stigma started It may have been around when my older brother and sister were In high school and It may have disappeared by the time my younger sister finished grade 1 know they own white socks By the way I still have my gym bag from my high school days Gord a bit upset because I drew flowers on It and now be cant use it for his numerous jaunts to Florida How do you explain to someone you met when you were that when you were 14 and you werent thinking about lending your smelly gym bag to your husband 15 years later Matter of fact who would have believed when I was 14 that I ever get married but that a different story There will be
