U.S. School Clothes: Wahiwa Elementary School (Hawaii)


Figure 1.--Wahiawa Elementary School was founded to educate the children of farmers who were brought in from California (September 1896). We don't have much informatioin about this, but apparently many were Japanese-Americans. We have a ckass portrait of the 6th grade in 1956. This would have been the oldest children at the school. Put your cursor on the image to see the rest of the class.

The pupils don't wear a uniform. Many boys wear Hawaiian style shirts and go barefoot. We note boys going barefoot on the mainland during the early 50s, but it becoming quite rare by the mid-50s. Note that even in Hawaii that the boys are wearing long pants.
