We still see no required uniform in the 1940s. Some of the boys seem to have the school shield on their suit jackets. Quite a few Some boys in 1948 wear sports collars without ties. The ties that are worn are mostly the diagonally stripped school tie. Many boys wear short pants, but they do not seem go be required as several younger boys wear long pants. We do not know what the school rule was. The boys in shorts wear kneesocks, but not all have them pulled up like we see in earlier images. We are unsure why this was. Did some boys think that this was fashionable? Or perhaps the kneesocks were not as well made as before World War II. The boys wear oxford lace up shoes, but we note one boy wearing school sandals.
