Figure 1.--This is school portrait of the 8th grade graduating class at P.S. 64 in the Bronx. The photograph was taken in January 1937. The boys are all wearing suits, many probably brought for their graduation. More than half of the boys wear knicker suits. The girls are all wearing white blouses and scarves. This was presumably especially for the portrait. Click on the image to see the rest of the class. |
Several New York City internet sites have archieved class photographs from the various New York City boroughs. The photographs in these gallaries provide a wonderfull view of what children wore over the years. Most are formal class portraits. There are, however, some images showing the children in their classrooms or activities like field trips. These are primarily the older photographs.
