Figure 1.--Here we see the choristers from the Belgian Schola Cantorum Cantate Domino on a trip to South Africa. I'm not sure what the building in the background is. I'm not sure when this photograph was taken, but believe it was 2003. |

A reader writes, "Notice what variation there is in the length of the boys'
shorts in the photograph from South Africa. A few boys have shorts that come down to the knees or below
(like contemporary U.S. basketball shorts) while others seem to wear the
better-looking short pants that end above the knees--but some shorter
than others even when above the knees. The lack of uniformity about
short pants length here is interesting."
