Figure 1.-- This school portrait was taken at the end of 1948-49 school year in Havana, Florida. It shows the students with 'Perfect Attendance' from both elementary (primary) and high schools in the city. The students seem to dress similarly in both the elementary and high schools. One elementary boy is barefoot. That was fairly common in Southern elementary schools, but gradually going out of fashion. Havana is located in northern Florida near the Georgia border and the junction of the panhandle and peninsula. It was a rural area. The tourist/retirement areas of Florida which were developing at the time are located to the south. .
