EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1956, we are transported back to the Lancastrian Infants School in Chichester. The image captures a group of pupils dressed up in fancy dress costumes, specifically as Red Indians. Their vibrant outfits and attention to detail truly bring their characters to life. The young boys can be seen proudly donning feathered headdresses and traditional Native American attire. With shorts and uniforms completing their ensembles, they exude an air of excitement and anticipation for whatever event or celebration is taking place. The setting appears to be the school's playground or possibly even an adjacent orchard avenue. Lush green grass surrounds them as they pose beside a charming tepee structure, which adds authenticity to their portrayal of Red Indian culture. This snapshot not only showcases the creativity and imagination of these Lancastrian Infants School pupils but also provides a glimpse into education during the 1950s. It serves as a reminder of how schools embraced cultural diversity even at such a young age, fostering understanding and appreciation among students. Preserved within the Chichester Photographic Society Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers us a window into history while igniting our curiosity about those who once walked these hallowed halls so many years ago.
