The Tyrrel Elementary School was located in Port Arthur, Texas. We have an image of what we would guess to be a 3rd grade class in 1951. The school looks like a modern post-War school. It looks like a typical
American primary school in the 1950s. All the girls wear dresses. The boys all wear long pants. Some boys wear collared shirts and other boys wear stripped "T"-shirts. One boy looks to be wearing a Cub-Scout "T"-shirt. Two boys wears a Western-style shirt with pockets/collar in contrasting colors. I remember having a shirt like that. One boy wears overalls. That was unusual in urban schools by the 1950s, but may have been more common in rural areas. A few boys were barefoot which by the 1950s was becoming uncommon in American schools.
