This was Mrs. Forehand's 6rd Grade class at the Vienna Elementary School in 1955-56. The children would have been 11-12 years old. Presumably some of the same children in the 3rd grade class (1952-53) are in this class 3 years later. The portrait is not dated, but was probably taken May 1956. The weather by May in Georgia was beginning to get hot. The girls wear a variety of blouses ahd skirts and dresses. Notice that none of the girls wear jeans. The boys have their hair cut short. They wear colorful collared shorts. Only one one boy wears a "T" shirt under his shirt, although some may wear sleevless vests. At least one boy did. Two boys wear "T" shirts. The stripped T-shirts the younger boys wore are not as popular now. They mostly wear jeans. Note the cuffs and worn knees. Their foot wear is varied. We see high-top sneakers (both white and black), moscasins, and leather shoes. Only one boy is barefoot. The difference between this and the 1952-53 portrait is probably the age of the boys, although the 3-year difference was also a factor.
