From The Indianapolis Star, Friday, April 28, 1922: Flapper styles must go is the verdict of Indianapolis girls in the public schools’ good dressing courses. Opposition to the latest dressing fads among students is based on the belief that the majority of schoolgirls are sacrificing their health in a mad rush to follow the flapper, “prom girl” and “rax” styles. High heels have been condemned unanimously, but galoshes received favorable mention, although it is decreed by the students that they must be worn buckled. Among the standards for the model spring school dress, a majority of students selected cleanliness, appropriateness, comfort, washable quality, simplicity of design, and fastness of color. The materials favored were gingham, crepe, middie cloth, percale, poplin, pique, and linen. Students are now working on model schoolgirl costumes to be exhibited at next month’s Indiana Health Exposition.
