The boys all came to school wearing white shirts, some with ties. Almost all the boys we can see are wearing knickers, most with brightly patterned knee socks, but some are still wearing long stockings. One boy wears long pants. Many boys are wearing sneakers. Hard times and the Depression began in 1929. This portait was taken in June before the October stock maket crash. The girls are wearing dresses, but we can't make out much detail.
