Third grade children would be 8-9 years old. This portrair was made in 1948-49. Most of the boys are in back rows. We see boys wearing "t"-shorts and collared shirts with both short and long pants. One boy wears shorts and is barefoot. Almost all of the girls wear dresses, but one of the third grade girls is a bit ahead of her times wears pants. Interestingly she is front and center in the photograph. Going to school in the 1940s and 50s, I don't recall girls wearing pants. In the photo of 3rd grade class there are some older pupils mixed in with the younger children. I am not sure why.
