Photo caption reads: "Turnabout - students are shocked by faculty long hairs. When students wear their hair long, they look odd or feminine, but when staff members do it they look "silly," was the opinion of students at Abraham Lincoln High School in Highland Park. Vice Principal John Childress (left) and Registrar Robert Kladifko said they were wearing the beatle-like wigs in mockery of "long-haired students." Boys at school wear their hair short". Photo dated: Dec. 2. 1966.
