MRS. RAINE BOWE’S CLASS
In Mrs. Raine Bowe’s class,
Every boy and girl,
Dyes their hair in bright colors,
Every lock and curl.
Mary dyes her hair purple.
Gary’s hair is green.
We are the brightest students,
That you’ve ever seen.
Orlando’s hair is orange.
Trinity’s hair is blue.
And her purse and shoes,
Match the color of her do.
Violet dyed her hair violet.
What else could it be?
Bob’s hair is black and yellow,
He looks like a bee to me.
Ashton’s hair is silver.
We call him “Metal Head”.
And the red hair that glows,
Belongs to Neon Ned.
Randy’s hair is golden.
There’s gray hair on Clem.
Tylene’s hair is turquoise,
She looks just like a gem.
Payton dyes her hair pink,
And so does Fluorescent Flo.
The hair dye comes out,
When their roots start to show.
Hairless Fred has a shiny head.
“Chrome Dome” is what he’s called.
Too much dye made his hair fall out,
And left him completely bald.
Mrs. Raine Bowe’s room is iridescent.
Our hair has lots to say.
We’re a true rainbow class,
So let us brighten your day.

A wonderful write that drew many smiles within!
Wishing you an abundance of such charming creativity!
With respect and smiles,

I can only imagine!
But what ages are we talking about Michael?
I recall in New York us teens wore bright color shirts and socks.
It was completely anti-establishment!
I wore a purple/orange/ shirt with purple/orange socks.
It was a passing craze but we thought we were so cool!
Then there were the shark skin and iridescent stove pants.
We would check out who wore what first until the craze went away.
What is this I here? Is purple hair here to stay?
It's easy to find your kid in a crowd - that's a good thing.
Until the next permanent wave comes along. Aloha!
John Michael
Love ya!

To add a thought to what Ron said, one day during my senior year (1961) a girl came to class with most of her hair sprayed with silver paint. The teacher very sternly told her, “You don’t come to my class tomorrow looking like that!” The girl said nothing, and orders were followed.

In my high school, one girl dyed her hair blue (1960). That was the first time I saw that, although half of the blondes in my school bleached their hair.
