Uniform
The school uniform has not changed much since its inception. Today, it consists of a postman blue skirt and matching blazer with a white shirt, white stockings, and oxfords or saddle shoes. Postman blue pants are worn the winter, with a navy sweater. Simple black or navy wool coats are worn in the winter and must at least cover the knees; and students may only use white, black, gray, and navy accessories. Accessories are limited to one set of gold or silver posts (earrings), a simple cross (necklace) or religious medal on a gold or silver chain, and a simple hair-tie. Only Juniors and Seniors may wear the school ring and use a moderate amount of lipstick and blush of appropriate shade. All other types of make-up and accessories are prohibited. Hairstyles must be simple and hair coloring must look natural. Major changes in hair coloring are prohibited.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“Odors from decaying food wafting through the air when the door is opened, colorful mold growing between a wet gym uniform and the damp carpet underneath, and the complete supply of bath towels scattered throughout the bedroom can become wonderful opportunities to help your teenager learn once again that the art of living in a community requires compromise, negotiation, and consensus.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
