Figure 1.--It is a little difficult to discern who is a boy and who is a girl. Most of the children with short hair look like boys to us. Even the ones wearing smocks/dresses. We assume that these are boys who have not yet been breeched. They look about 5 years old, except for one evenhyounger looking boy. Short hair was clearly the style for boys, although not the extremely close-cropped style we have seen at some schools.

We note that some of the older girls have relatively short hair, although longer tan the boys who have very short hair. The girls seem to have their hair pulled back. This style probably makes their hair look shorter than it actually is.
