Students of the 7th and 8th grades in the Overseas Schools in Abadan in the basketball. This mode of segregated [local vs. foreigners] schools became the accepted norm of schooling in the 'company towns'. Like their parents who were segregated, children too are kept separate from the locals. In addition to schooling, activities such 'scouts', basketball, swimming pools, and even a church was implanted in Abadan, and other 'company towns.'

Description
An account of the resource
The images which was taken by Charles Schroeder depicts Iranian [? or local] workers in the backyard of Schroeder's house. It portrays the way in which the locals were seen as archaic and unsophisticated: they are having lunch on the dirt ground outside. The mesh on the window further instigates the difference between locals and foreigners and how each perceived the other.
