But the girls did wear bloomers (and, I guess, something that could be considered a smock) for phys ed classes. So that's likely what this was for.<br /><br />Thanks, Andrea!Paul Lukashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569493938573591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442660665515602478.post-40985940897212240252014-03-11T19:25:04.715-04:002014-03-11T19:25:04.715-04:00To me it looks like the financial aid case worker ...To me it looks like the financial aid case worker offered to pay for "bloomers & smock", in addition to lunches and carfare, and Pasqualina was given $1.70 for the same.

The April 8 entry spells it as "Meagher". Additionally, the first three entries on the report card are attributed to "A. Meagher" in more legible handwriting.<br /><br />Sure enough, some Googling turns up an Alice C. Meagher who was hired at the Manhattan Trade School as an elementary dressmaking teacher in 1923.
