Figure 1.--We note two German girls with their brother, all dressed in sailor suits complete with caps. The image is undated, but we believe was taken in the 1930s. Unfortunately we can't read the cap tallies. |

A HBC reader tells us that she played on her high school basketball team in Muberry. Indiana in 1930. Girls wore middy blouses and bloomers for gym. We still see many German girls wearing sailor suits in the early 1930s. We note a brother and sister wearing matching sailor suits about 1930. Sailor suits tended to decline in popularity after the NAIs seized power in 1933. We note two German girls with their brother, all dressed in sailor suits complete with caps (figure 1). The image is undated, but we believe was taken in the 1930s, but this is only an estimate. One source suggested the early 1940s during World War II, but we think the late 1930s is more likely. Unfortunately we can't read the cap tallies.
