Boys at the school still wear suits. Almost all boys wear the sack suit with lapels and neckties. We see more varied colors. Before World War I, most boys wore dark suits. We see more lighter-colored suits in the 1920s. Most boys wear neckties, but a few boys wear open-collar shirts. We also see a few boys wearing sailor suits which we did not note in the 1910s. This is a little surprising as the sailor suit seemed a popular style in the 1910s. We are unsure why we only begin seeing them at the school in the 1910s. We believe many of the younger boys are wearing short pants suits with kneesocks, but this is difficult to tell from the portraits.
