I really don't think that it is an urban ledgened. I have heard of public high school dances were shapperoned and the shapperones were there to inforce distance rules, ie girls and guys had to dance a certain distance apart. I am not really sure what would happen but i have heard my relatives talking about this when they went to school in the 60's. Also, there was length of skirts, they would be measured and if a girls skirt was too short she would be sent home because she was being indecent.
SOOOO glad that i live now and not back then.
