GRADE SIX, CIRCA 1950

Cindy Stone has sent me this lovely picture on behalf of her mother-in-law, Lillian Hynes Stone.  Lillian said that it is her grade six class picture and it was taken about 1950.  Lillian has also given us the names of the girls in the picture.  Notice that the girls are all wearing white tams.  Some are wearing or holding white gloves also.  Does anyone know if this was the full school uniform or would this have been a special occasion?  The only school hat I ever remember wearing  was that brown and blue beanie at Holy Heart so  I would appreciate anything you can tell me about the white tams and gloves.
