Most of the students have their hair styled in neat bobs or short waves. The students are engaged in handcrafting, with many holding knitting needles, yarn, or pieces of fabric. A few appear to be working on embroidery or similar crafts, indicating a lesson in practical skills such as sewing or knitting, which were integral to the curriculum at the time.
