Unidentified Indianapolis School: 3rd Grade Parade (1929)


Figure 1.-- Here are some photographs taken in Indianapolis, Indiana during 1929 on the occasion of a parade of third graders having a park parade. Notice that most of the children wear paper crowns or hats. The photo seems to have been taken in the spring when the whether was nice enough for the children to walk in pairs without outdoor clothing. I am not sure, but I am guessing they are celebrating May Day. Put your cursor on the image to see another view.

I am not sure, but I am guessing they are celebrating May Day. That used to be a major event at American schools. The boys (who are 8-9 years old) all seem to be wearing shirts, mostly with ties. Most of the boys wears short trousers but a few wear knickers. There is considerable variety in the hosiery. Some of the boys wear knee socks while others wear long stockings (beige or black). At least one boy wears ankle socks. I include a close up of a boy in black long stockings walking with a girl in beige stockings.
