Monticello School: The 1920s


Figure 1.-- We note that in the 6th grade class (ages 11-12 years) in 1923 most of the boys wear suits, sweaters, or just whire shirts. The boys wear knickers and almost all of the boys are barefoot. One boys wears shoes. We suspect vthat mother insisted, but we are not positive. It is rather difficult to tll what the gurls are wearing. We do not see many hairbows.

We have also found school portraits from the 1920s. There are photos show the 1st and 4th grades classes of 1921 ant the 6th grade class of 1923. Only a boy attending 1st grade are wearing overallsm but not the ojder boys. We suspect that boys in the more rural areas of Jasper County were much more likely to wear overalls. Many of them are barefoot as well as the boys attending 4th and 6th grades. We note that in the 6th grade class (ages 11-12 years) in 1923 most of the boys wear suits, sweaters, or just whire shirts.
