U.S. School Clothes: Overrland Park School 1920s
Figure 1.-- Here we see a younger class from Overland Park, we think in the 1920s. It is a fairly large class -- 32 children. The grade is not identified, but we would guess a 2nd or 3rd grade class. It looks to have been taken in the 1920s. It clearly is taken after World War I and the knickers with black long stockings is a good indicator of the 1920s. We see a lot of white shirts. Three boys wear suits. Several others wear ties. Only one boy wears overalls. We see a later class portraits with more boys wear overalls. The boys we can see in the front all wear knickers with long stockings.

We inky see one girl with a blouse and skirt. The girls wear both socks and long stockings. Only the girls wear low-cut shoes. We think that the 1930s photograph is the samevckass 4-5 years alter.
