A photograph from an unidentified German primary school shows older primary boys about 10 or 11 in 1947 two years after World War II (figure 1). Most of the boys wear short pants suits with long stockings. Two boys (front row, third and fourth from the right) wear ankle socks, while another boy (front row, second from the right) has rolled his long stockings down below his knees to give the appearance of knee socks. At least three boys wear long ski pants gathered at the ankles or, in one case, ordinary long trousers. A few boys wear neckties, but most wear open shirts and also jackets and sweaters without ties. The long stockings are either light tan (perhaps beige) or brown. The boy with rolled long stockings has beige as his hosiery color. A few boys wear waist-length, almost military-style, jackets as opposed to ordinary suit jackets.
