Oh, TB, you have no idea how serious the nuns were about that!! And the whole thing where you had to kneel down so that they could check the length of your skirt! That one led to legions of Catholic school girls rolling up the waistbands of their skirts. 
My former secretary went through K-12 in Catholic schools. She told me that she once showed up in a skirt that was just above her knees. The teaching Sister called her out in front of the class and flipped her skirt over her head with a ruler. She was mortified.
