Figure 1.--These foreign, mostly French, children are putting on a class performance at a school in Senegal. I'm not positive just what their routine was. The girls wear skirts and the boys wear romper outfits. Rompers in Feance was a boys' garment. The image is entitled, "Les petits chats".

These foreign, mostly French, children are putting on a class performance at a school in Senegal. I'm not sure about the school, but it appears to be a school for foreign workers at a phosphate mine at Taiba. It was apparently part of a Christmas pagent. I'm not positive just what their routine was. The girls wear skirts and the boys wear romper outfits. Rompers in Feance wwere a boys' garment. The image is entitled, "Les petits chats". A French reader writes, "In this photograph, all these childen are French and HBC is quite correct that in France only boys wore rompers at the time. The children here were dressed for the Chrismas day celebration in 1960-61. I know this mine in Senega. It was the Mine de Taïba. It produced potash for agricultue.
