Santa Fe South has reason for great pride in the appearance of its student body. It is in the
best interest of all concerned that such pride should be maintained, especially on Free Dress
days, which are not often offered. It is hoped that parents and students will use mature
judgment and good taste in complying with these minimal restrictions.
