Mass Day Dress Code Incentive Introduced

By Stephanie Thomson

There has been much speculation regarding a new dress code rule on the campus of Newman Catholic High School.  The new rule would allow each class to have a jeans day every Friday if 90 percent of their class dresses up for Mass on Wednesday. There are guidelines students must follow in order to receive the jeans day on Friday.

The guidelines for guys include dress pants, neat dress shirts with collars, sweaters, and ties.  Men are allowed to wear clean athletic shoes if they are wearing a tie.  The rules for women include: dressy pants, skirts of dresses of appropriate length, dressy shirts, blouses, sweaters, and clean dress shoes (non-athletic).  Also, when May comes around, shorts are not allowed on Mass days. 

The rules for the jeans day are as follows: students may wear jeans with a school appropriate shirt or t-shirt.  This means that no logos may be bigger than 2x2, unless it is Newman spirit wear.  The jeans may not have rips, tears or frays. 

If you and 90 percent of your classmates follow these simple rules for dressing up on Mass day, you will be able to have a jeans day every Friday for the rest of the school year!
