Figure 1.--Several boys in this photograph wear smocks. Other boys wear shorts and long pants so the smocks were optional. |

We note a few photographs where some boys are wearing smocks, but not as uniforms. Apparently it was the mother's choice as only some of the children in the class are wearing smocks. Other children wear short or long pants. We notice a Moscow school. It looks to be asingle gender (except for the two teachers in the background) school. Or at least the classes
were segregated by gender. The boys look about 7 or 8 years old. Three of the boys in the front row seem to be wearing smocks. Unfortunately the image is not real clear. The others wear short pants with long stockings. One boy (front row) seems to be wearing a sailor suit, which I thought had long
since been abolished in the Soviet Union as hopelessly bourgeois. Could this class be made of the sons of elite Soviet officials? The boys do not seem to be very expensively dressed or very much spruced up for their photograph. It's hard to be certain, but it looks as though one boy (second row on the extreme right) might be wearing long trousers.
