A series of photos of the Kyiv first

gymnasium students shows them at the time of different classes and

during recreation; we can see physics, biology and drawing lessons in

specialized classrooms, parade drills and sport exercises in the

garden. In this picture, the gymnasium students can be seen on a

skating-rink, most figures in the center are wearing skates. The

skating-rink was situated in the courtyard of the gymnasium

(Bibikovsky (now Tarasa Shevchenka) boulevard, now the “Yellow

building” of the Kyiv Taras Shevchenko University).</p><p><i>Olga Martyniuk</i></p>
