Figure 1.--T Here we have a class oportrait at the end of the School year (June 10, 1933). This is all we know about the class. The name and the location of the school are unknown. The boys that we can see what they are wearing knickers and knee socks. We can not see what the other boys are wearing, but presumably most are also wearing knickers. Knickers were noot iniversal in the 1920s, but were very widely worn. This began yo change in the 1930s, especially after mid-decadeas long pants became increasingly common. The girls all look to be wearing dresses. We don't see blouses and skirts.

Here we have a class oportrait at the end of the School year (June 10, 1933). This is all we know about the class. The name and the location of the school are unknown. As many of the boys are wearing sweathers, we guess that it was a bnorthern state. We are not sure what kind of school the attended, but suspect they are the oldest students at a primary (elementary) school, meaning children about 11-12 years old. They look a year or so older so it coulf be a junior high school. It could be a junior high school. Meaning that they might be 13-14 it is difficult to tell.
