Individual U.S. School: Jackson Elementary School (Fresno, California)


Figure 1.-- Here we see the Jackson School in April 1949. There was quite a number of Jackson schools named after President Andrew Jackson because he was one of the major presidents of the 19th century. Today he is not as popular because of his policies toward Native Americans. The school looks to be a standard elementary (primary) school. Pictured here is room 15. We believe the school was in Fresno, California. This seems quite possible by the children's light-weight dress. The grade is not indicated, but we would guess they are 4th graders and about 9 years old. Click on the image to see the rest of the class.

The grade is not indicated, but we would guess they are 4th graders and about 9 years old. The boys are wearing a variety of shirts, including "T" shirts. Some of the boys wear white rather than striped "T" shirts. I don't remember boys doing that at my school about the same time. We always wore striped "T"-shirts. We can't see the pants the boys are wearing, but one boy is wearing jeans. Scouting was very popular at the time. The portrait was taken on Scout day. You can see several boys wearing their Cub Scout uniforms. One boy wears his Cub uniform with jeans, which was often done. At least the color matched. None of the girls, however, for some reason are wearing their Brownie uniforms. The girls all wear dresses. Several boys are wearing sneakers, but none of the girls. They wear strap shoes amd lace-ups including saddle shoes. Notice the old-style school desks and the pioneer mock-up for American history in the middle of the room.
