Figure 1.--This Buenos Aires private school in the early 1970s had a uniform just like a British preparatory school. The boys wear a blue blazer uniform. The only diference we note from a British prep school is that none of the boys wear school sandals.

One HBC reader tells us about his school, At. Andrews, which was a private school in Buenos Aires. The school had a uniform just like a British preparatory school. It consists of blue blazers, black leather shoes, a blue tie with yellow stripes, grey short trousers and kneescoks along with a light blue shirt. In the Winter they had a v neck jumper also. From 5th th to 7th grade of primary school short trousers become optional however from 6th grade students prefered to wear long trousers. For gym classes they required an all white uniform of t-shirt with the badge of the school stamped at the right side and cotton shorts.
