Boys' dress was out of tune
(C1963 the Daily Mirror published this report.)
Three senior boys were sent home from a grammar school because they wore "irregular clothes" and made "a conspicuous entrance" at the school's annual concert, their parents were told yesterday.
Clothes worn by the three boys included a checked suit with a black collar, a green jacket with jeans, and a sports jacket with a polo-necked sweater.
Mr William Ricketts, headmaster of the school at Boston, Lincs, wrote to the parents of each boy: "I am taking this action to remind your boy that he comes to this school on our terms and not his."
The boys are sixth-formers Michael Dolby-Phillips, 16, and Jack Morton, 17, and fifth-former Roy Croft, 16.
One of them yesterday:
"A school rule says uniforms must be worn at school funtions, but a master said this did not apply to the concert."
