This school photo is dated 1906. The precise location of the school on Martha's Vineyard is uncertain. It may be Vineyard Haven. The boys wear knee pants with black long stockings. Notice that several boys are wearing military-style naval shirts/jackets, double breasted with what look like brass buttons. I'm not precisely sure what this style ws called. We have also noted this style od shirt being worn in the West. These boys are wearing these shirts/jackets as outfits with matching knee pants. This
appears to have been a popular style for gradeschool-age boys. These children are probably in the second or third grade and would probably be about 8 years
old. A girl (perhaps from the class) has used the photograph as a Christmas card at some later point in her life and has written on the photo, "Merry Xmas. To find
the best girl in town."
