"Hey... what's a little violence when your goal is world peace?" "We should go home now, dear."
The boarders at my high school wore their collars up, the day boys (like me) wore them down. In my fifties I once met a guy who’d been at the same school a few years before me. I asked if the collar thing had already been a thing in his day.
