Shady Side Accademy was run like an English public (exclusive private) school. One aspect of these boarding schools was organizing the boys in houses. As in England each houuse was composed of boys from each form (grade). The idea was that the younger boys would benefit from their association with the older boys. The photograph here shows the boys of Moorewood House, one of the dormitories
of the school. This group photograph was taken in 1923. The boys are between
14 and 18 years old. Note that all the boys--at least those whose legs we can
see--are dressed in knicker suits. Some have elements of Norfolk styling with
a belt around the jacket. They wear white shirts and four-in-hand neckties.
Most of the boys wear black stockings but one boy wears light tan or grey
stockings that seem to have cuffs at the knee. They all wear hightop shoes.
The adult housemaster, a faculty member who had responsibility for discipline
and general nurture in Moorewood House, stands in the back row at the extreme
left wearing a bow tie.
