Individual Swiss State Schools: Milchbuck Secondary School

Figure 1.-- This class is from a secondary school called Milchbuck School in Zurich. The children are 13 or 14 years old. The photo was taken on January 19, 1932. Their teacher, Herr Zuppinger, is standing at the right. Notice his very correct wing collar with four-in-hand tie and three-piece suit. A few of the boys wear suits and ties, but just as common are pullover sweaters with open-collared shirts. There is a mixture of trouser styles for the boys.

A few of the boys wear suits and ties, but just as common are pullover sweaters with open-collared shirts. There is a mixture of trouser styles for the boys. At least one boy wears long trousers. Two others wear plus fours. Two boys wear short-trousers suits, one with knee socks, and the other (the most formally dressed boy in the class), sitting in the front row, wears a spiffy short trousers suit with collar and tie and black long stockings. Notice the ornamental buttons on his trousers, which was common for boys wearing short trousers suits. His parents were probably more conservative than the parents of the other children and wanted him to look especially dressed up for the class photo. He also wears the more old-fashioned hightop black shoes. The girls wear sweaters and skirts, and, in one case, a plaid dress.
