No wonder we called it St. Peter of Alcatraz (Sorry, St. Peter of Alcantara)

And our (unofficial) school song..(sung to a can-can tune)

"We are St. Peter's girls,
We wear our hair in curls;
We never play with toys;
We always play with boys...(can't remember the rest...)

We were Ba-a-ad...;^)

Elle,

One last thought. After I made the last post, I (re)read the whole BCHS
handbook just for fun. The dress code section got me to laughing about
Father Tribou (all his words, nothing changed). I can still remember it as
if it were yesterday, sitting at attention during the non-Catholic parents
orientation. If we could just get 5% of Father Tribou in every school.

Here is THE MAN on dress code-

*Dress Code*

A little bit of French to dress up a discussion of how to dress. "The
Catholic High look" is older than you are. Guys who complained about it when
they were students here would be incensed if they thought today's students
didn't dress as they did. That doesn't mean your tie has to be four inches
wide or that you'll be wearing bell-bottoms. But what it does mean is that
we wear shirts with collars, ties, and dress trousers. Socks? Always! Belts?
You bet! Jeans are cool - but not in school. Searching for one's identity by
means of bizarre clothing has never been viewed here to be an avenue to
self-discovery. A dose of common sense about the prevailing customs will go
a long way to helping you to deal with "the look." During those frosty
months, you can keep your timbers from shivering by wearing a sport coat or
a sweater in class for extra insulation, but coats and jackets intended for
outside wear are not for classroom use. Sweatshirts which feature C.H.S. or
college insignia are okay, too, but out-of-bounds is clothing which features
advertising, whether for movies, designers, auto-parts, or any other
commercial enterprise. (Why you'd pay for clothes which advertise for a
business you don't own or have a financial interest in is hard to figure
anyway.) Did somebody say "hair"? C.H.S. has been moderate on the subject
for decades. When the prevailing style was super-long, we were moderate.
When people wanted to scalp themselves, or have lines carved, or try a
mohawk, we've been moderate. So the "sling-head" and the dreadlocks and the
prison look are all prohibitively lumped together for the same reason:
they're immoderate. Just think "moderate." Nothing to it. "Body jewelry" is
out. Necklaces and bracelets and other ornaments are for your recreational
self, not your "I'm serious about my education" self. When in doubt, ask a
teacher before you don your latest purchase.
