Poor girl barred from Clifton graduation over dress
A Clifton Arizona eighth grade graduation ended in tears for Eleanor Stacy after school officials ruled her yellow floral dress did not meet rules for plain pastel attire. Principal Billy McDowell said disciplined dress was necessary for a formal ceremony, noting other girls were sent home to change. Eleanor’s father Ed Stacy, describing financial hardship, said the family could not buy a new dress and that the car breakdown prevented her from arriving with relatives. The Stacy family plans to discuss the incident again at the July school board meeting. Clifton, a mining town of about 2,000, faced growing tension over dress standards and perceived fairness.
