The Irwin Ave. Junior High School was located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Irwin Ave. Junior High Science Club photograph (1919) shows the boys quite dressed up. Most of them wear knicker suits with formal shirts and ties. A few of the boys wear only shirts without jackets. The variety of trousers here is
interesting. Notice the front row which shows long trousers, knee pants, and
above-the-knee knickers. These children would be about 13 or 14. The most
conservative parents would insist on knee pants and long black stockings
whereas the more liberal parents would allow long pants. The middle-ground
compromise would appear to be above-the-knee knickers.
