Many changes appeared in school smocks in the 1930s. Some of these changes related to increasing gender specialization. But there were many other changes as well. We note that both side and back buttoning smocks are common. Available images suggst that black or dark blue smocks were by far the most common, but we note that a few boys wore light-colored smocks and even patterened smocks. While the color was fairly uniform, we note substantial diversity in smock styling. Both back and side buttoning smocks were common. Most did not have collars. Most boys wore their shirts covered up with the smocks.
