The Dirty Knees Parade.
Second in from the right could have been me. mop style haircut, tie not straight, jumper not neat, trousers down to my knees, wellingtons up to my jnees ( a cunning plan the made it impossible for the teacher to use the cane on my legs).
From the days when elastic in socks lasted only one month, then it was garters made out of elastic for the next three months if you needed to keep your socks up to your knees (a demand in some schools), you got a new pair of socks the following term.
When your wore wellingtons in school, socks often remained at your ankles for most of the day.
