Individual Swiss School: Hinwil School

Figure 1.-- Thids is a class at the Hinwil School in Zurich canton (February 1, 1955). The girls and boys here look about 11 or 12 years old. Most of the boys wear baggy knickers, but three boys in the lower right hand corner wear long stockings. Two of the boys are obviously brothers, and they look to me like identical twins. Notice that they are dressed identically in the same color of shorts, with identical pullover sweaters and tan or grey long stockings, pretty clearly heavy woolen stockings obviously worn with a Strapsleibchen for supporters.

Here we see the a class at the Hinwil Schoolin Zurich canton (February 1, 1955). The girls and boys here look about eleven or twelve years old to me. Most of the boys wear baggy knickers, but three boys in the lower right hand corner wear long stockings. Two of the boys are obviously brothers, and they look to me like identical twins. Notice that they are dressed identically in the same color of shorts, with identical pullover sweaters and tan or grey long stockings, pretty clearly heavy woolen stockings obviously worn with a Strapsleibchen for supporters. Note that the third boy from the right (second row), who is wearing knickers, has on ankle-length long underwear since the season is winter. The boys all wear sweaters. The girls mostly wear pinafores, usually on top of sweaters. The teacher standing at the rear left with glasses and a plaid woolen blouse is not named, but the young man with jacket and tie at the right is Herr M. Zimmermann. Again we see the style of woolen ankle socks worn over other hosiery and turned down over hiking boots.
