This picture was taken in April 1912, on the excursion of the 4th graders from the Murakozy private elementary school, in Zugliget. My mother is the first from left in the top row. She wrote the date on the back of the picture at that time. Then, much later, she listed the names of the children in a well-developed adult handwriting. She didn't remember all of them anymore, there are some dotted spots, but she remembered most of them. And that although she didn't really like this school, as there were many 'Christian middle-class boys' in it.
