Figure 1.--A class photograph from the shows that few boys by the mid-1960s were wearing short pants to school. One boys in 1966-67 wears a sweater with short pants and dark kneesocks, but the other boys all wear long pants. The class is Prof. M. Cabardes (Français)- 6ème.

The School

We have little information about the French Lycée Regnault at this time. It appears to be a single gender school or at least the classes were separated. We do not know if the school is still operating.

Tangier

Tangiers has a long tradition of international contact. It is now in Morocco, having been in internationally controlled port up to 1956, and British, Spanish, and Portuguese before that.

Schoolwear

A few school portraits are available from the 1960s. As in France, the school did not have a school uniform and the dress code, if any, was very relaxed. A class photograph from the shows that the pupils wore their regular clothes to school--various mostly casual styles. Two boys wear ties and several boys wear suit jackets. One boy seems towear a blazer without lapels. Few boys by the mid-1960s were wearing short pants to school. One boys in 1966-67 wears a sweater with short pants and dark kneesocks, but the other boys all wear long pants. This probably reflects school wear trends in France itself.
