The school in the 1960s continued to have very strict regulation concerning the uniform. Most school portraits show all the boys
turned out in the full uniform. The school blazer was changed in the 1960s. The piping was discontinued and the badge made
more prominent. By the late 1960s, however, short trousers were made optional again for the first form boys as was the case
before the 1950s. As a result few of the boys wore them. A 1969 school ortrait shows only two boys in the school wearing
short trousers with thir uniform. The schol portrait was probably taken in the spring semmester. It is likely that at thevbeginning of the year, more of the first form boys were wearing shorts with their uniforms.
