This is Anna and her sisters Gracie and Tessie. Anna remembers that Mother Brendan would pin brown paper around the hem of your skirt to bring your hem level below your knee.
One day Gracie used pipe cleaners to curl her hair and went to school with a head of beautiful curls. Mother Brendan took her out to the water pump in the school yard, put her head under it and pumped the water to straighten her hair!!
The nuns believed in those days that short skirts and curls were not modest.
