Another Swiss class--this one from the town of Stäfa. Stäfa is a village in the Zurich canton, but not in the city of Zuruch. The portrait was taken January 8, 1948. Interestingly despite the Winter time frame, it does not look very cold on the day the photograph was taken. we do not even see any smow. No one is wearing an overcoat, but the boys all wear nice warm sweaters. The children probably just came out from their classroom for few minutes. They look to be 10-year oldsk. The school name is the same as the village, probably because there was only one school located there in 1948. The teacher with horn-rimmed classes at the rear is Herr W. Keller. Notice that even in the 1940s, most teachers were men. Most of the boys wear short trousers with long stockings and Strapsleibchen. The long stockings are in part seasonal. We also see a few wear plus-fours with knee socks. The girls wear pinafores which presumablywas a school rule.
