Figure 1.--All we know for sure about this school is that it was taken at a boys school (Ecole des garçons) during 1960. We do not know where in Belgium it was located. It seems to be some kind of primary school. They are almost all younger boys, although there seems to be a substantial age disparity. We woud say the children are about 4-8 years old. One boy looks a good bit older. This means that it was not a class, there is too great a disparity. But the group looks much too small to be an entire school.

So we are not at all sure what this group is. It was clearly a photograph taken after the weather had turned warm. All the boys seem to be wearing short pants, at least the younger boys in the front. Some of the younger boys wear blouses (one with puff sleeves) and extremely short pants, but we do not see any smocks or rompers. A few boys wear supender shorts. One boy wears bib-front shorts.
