Figure 1.-- The boys wear both long stockings and kneesocks. About half the boys wear long stockings and the other boys wear kneesocks. They are all solid colors. There are both light and dark colors. One boy looks to be wearing white long stockings which was not real common for boys. We do not note any patterns. One boy looks to have a colored band at the top of his kneesocks, but this may be a garter to hold them up. Nor do we see any boys wearing ankle socks. One boy has rolled down his kneesocks.

We know he has done this rather than they have fallen done, becuase the socks on both legs are done identically. This does not seem very popular as none of the other boys have done this. We do not see any relationship between the hosiery choice and the rest of the clothing. Some boys wear lonstockings with just a shirt and not a jacket or sweater. This suggests that the lobg stockings were not being worn for warmth. Nor do we note any relationship between the hosiery and footwear.
