How did YOU decorate your SENIOR CORDS ?

Boy, we must be old if someone doesn't know what senior cords are. There is a local ice cream/snack shop that has several pair hanging on the wall for nostalgia. They were light colored(light yellow or tan or even white) corduroy skirts/pants that you decorated with your high school memories....kind of like scrapbooking, but on your clothes. I think it probably stopped in the early 70s around here. I had a skirt, and a friend painted it with all my friends and high school activities. It was cool. I still have the skirt!

I'll bite!!! What's a senior cord??

Thanks Harley, I guess I was on the basketball court or horseback. I did have cord skirts but didn't decorate them!!

It sort of "threw me" to see this question, then thanks to Harley Lady, I remembered....We always called them kilts....In the late 50's and early 60's they were popular in high school...There was a nasty joke boys played called "Rip Cord".......When the hall was crowded, a boy would catch a girl with her arms full of books, and pull the tie cord on the skirt, and yell "Rip Cord"!!! Girls would be dropping their books all over the place, and grabbing their waist band.....It was a mean thing to do, but was part of the "culture" back then......

I think this must have been a regional thing. I graduated from HS in 1970 in NYC and have never even heard a reference about 'Senior Cord'.
