Aberdeen MS | That's the way it was until I graduated in 72. Had to be clean for church on Sunday morning.
School didn't matter, the night before you washed your arms, face, neck and ears. Anything more than that was wasting water. Mother didn't take kindly to "good" shirts having a ring of dirt after a day of use. And you were expected to use hair oil/cream to comb your hair in the morning, greasy look was expected by the parents.
You only better be putting 3" of water in the tub as well. It was a couple days of walking on egg shells to have Culligan bring out 1000 gals of water for the cistern if it went dry. That happened in the winter most times. | |

Are all "small time carnival" workers filthy and why are they?
