I'm trying to identify my father's high school in Warsaw. I'm posting another image showing the insignia on the cap. Maybe someone can identify the school that way. (1928)

I looks like number 6 to me. Schools often were identified by their number.

Here is an example of high school no. 6 in Warsaw
https://szkolnictwo.pl/index.php?id=PB5853 https://www.misterwhat.pl/company/1036925-gimnazjum-nr-6-warszawa I am not familiar with wearing school numbers (if that is what it is) on the caps, in particular for high schools. Caps like that I thought were associated with university students. After the war (my period), we wore school insignia on the upper arm, but that was for elementary schools and high schools. It was not an element of school pride but a means for ordinary citizens to identify a student and report him/her to the school in case of misbehavior in public. What is the age of the people in the photo? Frank Szmulowicz |

Before WWII there were at ieast three well known private Warsaw schools whose students wore characteristic caps. The „Jan Zamoyski School“ had a sky blue „maciejówka“ with school insignia on the surround. The „Mikołaj Rej School” students wore a dark nlue monogrammed cap, jokingly named a „tramwajarka”;for its resemblance of a hat worn by city tram drivers, and „Wojciech Górski School” had a blue hat looking like a French kepi. Other schools, private and public, could possibly use a standard Polish four–cornered hat („rogatywka“) with a number or some other designation of the school on it.
