Figure 1.-- Here we have another unidentifed German school portrait. The portrait is undated, but looks to have been taken in the late-1950s. The children look to be about 8-year olds which would mean 3rd year students. It was a mixed class of both boys and girls. The building in the bsackground suggests it was a good sized city school. Quite a few chldren wear striped "T"-shirts which suggests that the portrait was taken in the spring after the tempersatures had begun to warm up. All the boys wear short pants, many with H-bar haltars. Most of the boys seem to be wearing ankle socks. One boy may be wearing long stockings, but it is difficult to tell for sure.

All the boys wear short pants, but suspension varied. Many boys wear H-bar haltars. One boy wears suspender shorts, but the H-bar haltars are much more common. Two boys wears suspenders which were becoming less popular. About half the boys seem to weaering belts. Most of the boys seem to be wearing ankle socks. While one boy is wearing knee socks, iy is clear that ankle socks were becoming more popular for warm weather. One boy may be wearing long stockings, but it is difficult to tell for sure.
