MHS Swim

November 14, 1961, Appleton Post-Crescent
My first response when I saw this was: Oh. My. God.  This could never fly today, in the interests of political correctness, bullying, and/or rampant litigious parents ensuring their child's self-esteem wasn't harmed.  I found the arguments for the continuation of this practice to be hilarious.  I couldn't find out when this practice ended. Readers?

  1. I believe the practice was phased out in the late 1960s due to shrinkage.

  2. Of all the silly reasons for swimming nude they left out the civics lesson. In contrast to the thoughts of the Founding Fathers all men are not created equally.
