Figure 1.--The children in this 5th grade class in 1965 are all wearing their Young Pioneer Uniforms. They do not appear to have done this every day, but the regulations may have change over time. |

We have very limited information on Czechoslovakia at this time. What was once Czechoslovakia was formerly Bohemia and part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Czechoslovakia was created in 1919 after World War I. Briefly just before World War II, the country split into Slovakia and the Protecorate of Bohemia and Moravia. After the War Czechoslovakia was recreated and became a Communist People's Republic. After overthrowing Communism, the country split into Slovakia anf the Czech Republic. We note that during the Communist era that many school photographs show the children in their Young Pioneer uniforms, but other photographs do not. The unifirms are white shirts and blue pants worn with a red scarve. We are not quite sure what the regulations were. We note many younger children through the mod-1970s wore H-bar skirts and pants. We have noted an interesting Czech school site Školní rok, but apparently it is Hodejice. The site provides glimses od schoolwear from the 1960s-2000s at a typical Czech primary school.

After the War Czechoslovakia was recreated and became a Communist People's Republic. After overthrowing Communism, the country split into Slovakia anf the Czech Republic. Thesec political changes of course affected attitudes toward schoolwear as well as fashion changes over time. We note that during the Communist era that many school photographs show the children in their Young Pioneer uniforms, but other photographs do not. The unifirms are white shirts and blue pants worn with a red scarve. The image here shows Czech children wearing their unifoirms in 1965 (figure 1). We are not quite sure what the regulations were.
We have noticed Czech children wearing both uniforms and their own clothes over times. The uniforms we have noted are those implemented by the Communuist Government. The uniform was the Young Pioneer uniform as served both for school and for Pioneer activities. The uniform was a white shirt and blue pants or skirts worn with a red scarve (figure 1). These uniforms appear to have been worn in the 1960s-80s. Although during this period we note many photographs of the children not wearing their uniforms. We are not sure what the conventioins were. We also notice Czech children wearing their own clothes, providing a glimspe of popular styles over time. We note boys through the 1950s commonly wore short pants. We have noted many younger children wearing H-bar pants and skirts until the 70s went this went out of style. During the Winter, long syockings were very common for both boys and girls.
We have at this time very limited information on individual Czech schools. School portraits are a wonderful source of information on contemprary children's fashion. We have found information on a few schools. We have noted an interesting Czech school site Školní rok, but apparently it is Hodejice. The site provides glimses od schoolwear from the 1960s-2000s at a typical Czech primary school. Unfortunately as the site is in Czech, we can not tell much about the school. Another primary school is the Adršpach School, located in the Czech portion of Czechoslovakia. It looks to be a small village primary school.
