Carol Perkins: Taps on their shoes

Previous Column: Just Like That

By Carol Perkins

I don't often look through old yearbooks, but when I do, I focus on the clothes and hairstyles of each year.

During the 50s and 60s I don't remember men concerned about what they wore or fashion trends except for a few things. In order to be like James Dean, some of the guys started wearing white tee-shirt and rolled up the sleeves. Tucked inside one sleeve might be a pack of Camels.

His jeans would likely be straight and tight, and he might have taps on his boots/shoes. Not taps like on tap dancing shoes, but smaller ones that went on the toes or the heels. The sound of those taps down the hallway at the Old Edmonton High School meant a "bad boy" was in the area. Not that any were bad, but they wanted to give off that vibe.
