Figure 1.--PS 84 was a New York City elementary (primary) school in the burough of Queens. Wev have a portrait of a 5th grade class in 1959. We at first thought it was a parochial school because so many of the boys wear white shirts and ties. We do not know if that was normal or if the children were told to dress up for the photograph. The girls all wear dresses or blouses and skirts.

PS 84 was a New York City elementary (primary) school in the burough of Queens. Wev have a portrait of a 5th grade class in 1959. This seems to be number two ofvtwo or more 5th grade classes. The school would hsve also had 6th grade classes. We at first thought it was a parochial school because so many of the boys wear white shirts and ties. We do not know if that was normal or if the children were told to dress up for the photograph. The girls all wear dresses or blouses and skirts. Notice the great old wooden desks.
