Well, I am venturing into dangerous waters with this title....sock hops were junior high school sponsored dances.. usually a Friday evening in the converted cafeteria. Eventually records were replaced by live bands with TONS of teachers with
AK's at every exit and restroom. For once, the cafeteria was dark, or at least dim... so you could not see that the ugly girl was not so ugly and the ugly guy was not so - premonition of future beer induced states... or the short guy wasn't that short.... nope-still short regardless of amounts of beer- depth perception still worked.
Anyhow, you spruced up to your best and you got your pals together to "strategize" how to get to meet those girls you see everyday, ALL DAY.. but didn't have the guts to talk to. Hey, ask them to dance..any idea how many girls have a bad leg when you ask them to dance? Softball and girl's soccer are a killer sports on your love life!
As the last songs were being played and everyone was planning a post " sock hop" rendezvous, you always had to remember that mom or dad were picking you up and dropping you off at who's house for what and when are you coming home?
