Figure 1.-- This is Greville's House at Eton Coolege. The date is not clear, perhaps 1923. Notice that the younger boys wear Eton collars. They are posing with the trophies that they won. |

The boys boarded in houses. These were boarding facilities which included boys from each age level. The idea being that the older boys would have a positive influence on the younger boys. There were traditions here. Boys would want to be in the same houses in which their fathers were placed. There is a healty competition between the houses. Here we see Geveille's house although the name is not specified (figure 1). On the previous page we see Greville in a houseteam portrait, we think in 1926, although the caption is not very clear. The boys pose with trophies their house had won. We notice Greville at Eton College in 1925. As the portrait has 11 boys, we assume it is a cricket team, possibly another house team. Here we belive that the circle caps signified colors comparable ta letter in America), probably house colors. We do not know the name of the house.
