This school was known as the Zurlindenstrasse School, one of the public schools in the city of Zurich. The name of the school is basedon the street it was located-- Zurlindenstrasse. We have a portrait of the Kindegarten class. The photo was taken on the 19th of January, 1939. TThe children are about 5 years old. Notice their toys. The teacher, standing at the back on the left, was Frau Wyss. Notice that the girls all wear pinafores. The boys wear short pants and long stockings, often with sweaters. One boy sitting on the floor in front wears a sailor suit with long trousers. There is another boy in a short pants sailor suit at the extreme left. You can see that the children wear supporters with their long stockings, apparently with what the Germans often referred to as "stocking shirts" (bodices with garter attachments). For kindergardeners these children look very serious. They have proudly displayed their toys in front of them. We don't see too many smiles. The children, of course, are unaware that World War II started in the year of the photograph.
