A photograph from 1948 shows Form IIIb. The boys are wearing suits rather than blazers like the ones worn before and during the early years of World War II. They all look to be wearing short pants suits. We wonder if shortages after the war made blazers hard to obtain. Otherwise we are not sure why the boys are all wearing suits rather than the school blazer. Only one of the boys wears the school blazer. Most boys wear ties. The girls are wearing gym frocks, a few with ties. In earlier portraits there are girls wearing both dresses and gym frocks. We are not sure, but this may have been a seasonal uniform.
