Figure 1.--This looks like a small private pre-prep day school with children up to about 5-7 years old. Notice that the children in the back row look a little older than the children in the front. The school is unidentified as The Beeches and is dated June 1937. Actually the photograph looks familiar to us, but we can't find a page we used to create with it. And as the we know the name of the school we are archiving it here. There is a name written on the back--Miss Hamikton-Pott which we assume is the director-owner of the school.

There was no uniformm but the boys wearwhite or light-colored shirts and short pants. Manynareblonf skeeves. Sone of the boys wear ties. The girls errar light-colored summer dresses, many print dreses. These were basically standard fashion and school wear at the time. One notable observation is that three of the boys are wearing strap shoees rather than school sandals. By this time strap shoes were becoming less common for boys, especially boys this age. School sandals were common but not strap shoes. Not omly were thry handy for younger children who were still learning to tie shoe laces, but were also popular summer seasonal wear.
