    1. Every school in my neighborhood needed to operate on a split schedule in order to accommodate the deluge in the 50s and 60s.

      Are you sure that isn’t the entire school? Or was he in a particularly large city?
      I mean, I’m Gen-X, and I don’t think my Elementary school had that many kids period.

    4. I’m a Gen Jones baby, and we still had separate morning and afternoon classes for kindergarten.

      The faces in the very back resemble the children’s mask in Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall.

      I’m not an expert on photography, but is this Ai? I’d expect a photo from the 1950’s not to be so uniformly in focus .

    8. Which country? I don’t recall boomer aged boys in the US wearing knee socks, short pants, vests and ties in school.

    9. Looks like they’re in an auditorium, background is a stage with festive foliage and food. Usually class pictures are in a classroom and the name of the school and year is printed on the bottom. I just don’t recognize this as a classroom. Maybe your dad’s class was separated into different groups/teachers and they were put together for the group picture in the auditorium?
