Giddy and guileless Grammar Girls Cartoons

These cartoons are not only amusing but also full of information, often revealing the aspects of uniform that the girls thought important. We have this sketch by Mary-Jane Hickey referencing the introduction of the sixth form badge , a proud addition to the uniform giving recognition and status to the senior students. This was also the era of short skirts, sometimes exposing ungainly knees.
