The second pair of shoes on the school supply list and required to be left at school was "gym shoes." Unlike the designer brands on the market today, signed by multi-million dollar sports figures (primarily basketball players,) the gym shoes of my early years were white canvas with gummy ochre soles and white shoe laces.

Once again, ties were required - no slip-on, deck shoe versions were allowed. Lace-up guy shoes continued to be a staple on the school supply list even after loafers were allowed for daily wear.
