The Faculty Dress Code Rebel

Here is a picture of my mother in the 1971 Red Bluff High School yearbook. They did a feature story on her because she bucked the system.... She tells the story in her journal:
"One day, I just chose to wear a pant suit... it was a very nice cream colored knit pantsuit.... I didn't think it would cause the stir that it did, but apparently there was a faculty dress code forbidding teachers from wearing pants, and I found myself in the middle of a district-wide uproar.... soon afterward, there was a vote and the school board allowed a few more freedoms. I'm not the type to cause problems, I just wanted to wear pants that day. I never intended to be a rebel."

Here's from the yearbook:
