Let's look at two photographs from the 1950s. In both of these photographs, the students are dressed for special occasions.

The photograph above shows the Greenmount team that won the Cork City and County National School Hurling and Football Championships in 1959. Their jerseys and shorts probably look a little different from the ones you wear these days. What do you notice about them?

This photograph shows the Confirmation class from 1956. Everyone is wearing jackets, ties, short trousers and long socks. What differences do you notice between the clothes these boys are wearing and the clothes that boys wear for Confirmation in modern times?
