BOYS IN UNIFORM FROM SLACKS TO SHORTS TO KILTS & BACK AGAIN

 

This photo is from last week’s post of girls in uniform crossing their legs, but I couldn’t resist the close match with this week’s prompt picture of boys in uniform with their legs crossed.  Looking at the two pictures, I’m not sure why it seems significant, but the boys are crossing their legs right to left, and the girls, left to right which is the exact opposite of how they button their shirts and blouses.

Another photo of uniformed boys crossing legs.  In this pose they remind me of falling bowling pins.

No legs crossed here.

Legs going every which way!

These are obviously uniforms for dress-up occasions.  I can’t imagine wearing them for every day - running around on the playground trying to play in them. 

Fancy the straw hats.  In roaming the internet for photos I saw quite a few uniform-suited fellows wearing them.

Ah, more crossed legs.  But I picked this photo because of the interesting trim on their lapels.

Now we turn to family in uniform.  My husband’s Grandfather, Harry Brasier – center of seated row – in an early classroom photo.

A group of boys supposed to be dressed in a ‘uniform’ of dark colors for the photo.  There’s always one, of course, who doesn’t follow the ‘rules’.  I remember my son as a freshman in his high school band dressed in the band’s uniform to march in a parade.  Band members were told to wear black shoes.  He wore white.  The band director handed him a can of black spray paint and told him to fix the problem!  Hard lesson, but he never forgot to follow the band director’s directions again!  Meanwhile, my husband’s older brother is in the photo here, top row, middle – just to the right of the hanging lantern.

Mothers stand behind their Boy Scout sons in uniform for a ceremony of some sort.  My husband and his mother are second in from the left.

From Boy Scout to father of the groom in the swish of time.  My husband 2^nd in from the right; our son, to his right.  Groom and groomsmen in matching tuxes.

The Argonaut High School varsity football team of Jackson, CA – 2022 State Champions – in their green/gold/white uniforms.  Our grandson was the team’s quarterback.  He’s somewhere there in the front row.
