Figure 1.--Here we see a class of younger boys in 1949. I'm not sure why two priests are shown with the boys, surely this small class must have had only one priest for their teacher. Click on the image to see a group of older boys in 1948. It was named "decoopman classe", perhaps referring to the teacher.

We note images from the school in the 1940s. The boys mostly wear short pants suits. Many are dark suits, but we note light-colored suits as well. The suits appear to have been required, because almost all of the boys wear them. Some boys wear them with ties, other boys wear open collar shirts. Almost all the suits are single breasted, but we note one double-breasted suit. We note one or two boys without suits. It is not clear to us if this is just the normal vagaries of school life or if it means that the boys were not requited to wear suits. We rather think thart there probably was a requirement. We note that the younger boys all appear to wear short pants suits. Many but not all of the older boys wear long pants suits.
