This is a a group of 10- or 11-year olds from Leimbach School in the city of Zurich. The photo was taken on March 11, 1940 when the weather was still quite chilly. One boy in the front row has already changed into knee socks and therefore has bare knees, but the other children seem to be mainly in long stockings. One girl with a pinafore wears knee socks with her dress. but the other girls (like most of the boys) are in long stockings. Mostly they also wear sweaters. The trees are green, but I suspect the tree in the bckground is an evergreen, not desiduous, since it is only March 11th. The children's teacher is Frau Hefti, who stands at the rear on the right. Notice the hair styles. At least four of the girls wear pigtails. The boys' hair is normal length for the 1940s but not cropped very short. Two girls wear pinafores but they are not the dominant style. Two boys sitting in the front wear hiking boots, but most of the children are wearing low-cut city shoes.
