Yeah, but those gapped front teeth are all the rage now.

I heard that people with a gap between their two front teeth were descended royalty and blessed.

Crusty ol' bat here. I graduated in the 1970's too. I worked in orthopedics and kept knocking my cap off whenever I had a patient in traction. A couple of times, my cap hit the traction frame and landed in a loaded bedpan. So much for grace and charm!

I wore this type of garb in the late 80's. My white cap had a thick black velvet ribbon and two little gold RN pins. I threw my cap away, to my regret, because it turned bright yellow from all the cigarette smoke floating in the breakroom, back when nurses could smoke at work. I was so proud of that dang thing!

Just out of curiosity, how did one wash their cap if it got soiled? And were you able to get a new one if it got ruined?
