Abbeville School: First Grade (Abbeville, South Carolina, 1946-47)


Figure 1.--This is an Abbeville, South Carolina elementary school in 1947-47. Many of the younger boys wear short pants and are barefoot. There are a range of shirts, including t-shirts. One boys wears a suit. I don't know why he is so dressed up. The girls all wear dresses. Notice only the boys are barefoot.

First grade children would be 6-7 years old. This portrair was made in 1946-47 right after World War II. Many of the boys in 1st grade wear short pants and are barefoot. Notice only the boys are barefoot. There are a range of shirts, including t-shirts. Most of the boys wear short sleeves, but one boy has a long sleeve "T"-shirt with abog-collared shirt under it. One boys wears a suit. I don't know why he is so dressed up. I don't ever recall a boy wearing a suit in my First Grade cklass during 1949-50. Note that we don't see a lot of boys with real short hair cuts like flat tops and buzz cuts yet, styles that were very popular in the 1950s. The girls all wear dresses with various footwear, including saddle shoes, strap shoes, and sandals.
