Here we see the Meredith, New Hampshire village school house in 1901. The boys sitting
in the front row would seem to be about 8th or 9th-graders, i.e., about 12 or
13 years old. The older boys standing at the back look like high school
children, i.e., 16-17 years old. The boys are quite formally dressed for the
photograph, probably more formally than they actually would have been for
daily classes. They wear jackets and ties, and most seem to be wearing
suits. The younger boys all wear knee pants with long black stockings and
hightop shoes. At least one of the boys in the front row (the third from the
right) seems to be wearing long underwear under his stockings (note the
somewhat lumpy appearance). This was probably quite common at the time,
especially in chilly New Hampshire. The children are grouped on the front
steps of the local Meredith schoolhouse. Meredith is a still a fairly small
town so the school house could have been only a one-room affair.
