In that era, schools were extremely strict with their students.
The so-called school belle, class belle, and faculty belle were incomparable to the current school belle.
Both junior high and senior high schools were strict about makeup and hair dye. They were so strict that not even a strand of fringe was to cover our eye.
A boy's short hair was not to cover his ears and eyebrows. It would be best if he had a buzz cut that was the same length throughout.
As for girls…
Long hair was to be tied up in a ponytail and not to be let out. It would be best if her face were clean and refreshing, without one extra strand of hair between her eyebrows.
Therefore, at that time, the girls known as the school belle were all natural.
When I was in middle school, I wasn't unrivaled in beauty, but my eyes were clear and bright. I had an exquisite oval face, red lips, and white teeth. My pretty face had indeed caused me a lot of trouble.
