We continue to see goodie cones in the 1960s. The number of such photographs has declined from the 1950s, but we still a few photographs. German parents seem to no longer take the kids to a photographic studio to take a portrait. We are not sure if this reflects a declining popularity of the custom or the fact that virtually every German family had a camera and took snapshots of the chilldren. Another factor may be that with these more modern years, fewer snapshots have entered into the market for old photographs. Thus it is very difficult to assess the popularity of the custom by countging the number of actual photographs we have archived. The children seem dressed a little more informally than earlier, but the scarcity of images makes it difficult to assess clothing trends with any surity. Some boys wore Tracht such as Bavarian jackets and Lederhosen. We see some boys wearing the increasingly popular open-toe sandals. We also notice white knee socks. We no longer see long stockings, but do not notice tights.
