This is the Madetswil primary school, Zurich canton, photographed on November 5, 1953. Madetswil is a village with, I believe, only a single school. The teacher standing at the rear is Herr Theo Allenbach. These children seem to be about 8 or 9 years old. One boy wears knickers with suspenders but most of the other boys wear short trousers with either long stockings or knee socks. The two boys with long stockings in the front row seem to be wearing heavy woolen hosiery (notice the ribbing). The second boy from the left is obviously wearing a Leibchen with supporters for the stockings, which is obvious because of the way the tops of his stockings show under his short trousers with a gap between the shorts and the stocking top. This is obviously not an embarrassment for him as it was for some boys. The girls wear pinafores. All of the boys seem to be wearing sweaters, several with the suspenders on top rather than underneath.
