Individual Swiss School: Schlatt School

Figure 1.-- We have a detail of a class member from a larger class photo, taken on February 2, 1959, at Schlatt School, a primary school in the Zurich canton. The boy seems to be about 10 or maybe 11 years old. He wears a short trousers suit apparently (note the suit style jacket) but with a cotton sports shirt underneath and no necktie underneath a v-necked sweater. He wears long beige or very light tan woolen stockings which reach up very high on his legs. He is obviously wearing a Strapsleibchen (a bodice with four hose supporters attached). Notice the very close cropped hair. Also the low cut shoes.

Notice the very close cropped hair. Also the low cut shoes. The class is clearly of mixed gender. A girl sitting in back of him wears a dress with black long stockings. The two girls in the background also wear pinafores. This is rather late for long stockings in Germany. Tights appeared in the late1950s and long stockings quickly disappeared, at least in Western Europe. We still see long stockings being worn by some Swiss boys from conservative families into the early 1960s. This was longer than boys in Germany.
