We do not have much information on the 1940s. We note the school in 1940-41 was much smaller than shown in the school portraits of the 1930s. France was defeated by the Germans and much of the country occupied (June 1940). We assume that the reduced enrollment had something to do with the German occupation. We have no information as to what happened at the school during the War (1939-45). We do note that the enrollments recovered after the War. Boys during the 1940s still laragely wore suits to school. We note, however, that a substantial number of boys wear leisure jackets rather than suit coats. There seem to be a variety of suit jackets. Many boys do not look to be wearing neckties. Several boys look to be wearing ascots or scarves.
