Insitution St. Jacques: Chronology--The 1930s


Figure 1.--Here we see a group of the boys on a trip to Lourdes, understandable for a French school. Notice the nedals the boys are all wearing. 

We have several images of the school in the 1930s. One image shows a group of boys in 1934. That are in front of a banner which reads "Jehus Maria, I'm not sure just what this group is. The boys look all about the same age so perhaps it was a class group. We note another photograph with the boys on a field trip to Loudres (figure 1). As a Catholic school, a trip to a religious shrine is understandable. As in the other 1930s photographs the boys here look to be wearing mostly short pants suits, although this is a bit difficult to tell becvause somne of the boys are wearing overcoats. Usually the boys wear dark short pants suits and kneesocks. We see some boys in light-colored suits, presumably grey, so the dress code seems rather flexible.
