Most of the boys are dressed in short trousers suits with shirts and ties, long dark stockings, and Oxford shoes. Garter waists were obviously worn. One boy wears knee socks with his suit and two others wear long plus-fours (knickers) that come down to mid-calf. But short trousers and long stockings was obviously the tradition. These boys are about twelve or thirteen--about 8th or 9th grade in American terms. The school had very high academic standards and taught mainly a liberal arts curriculum. It was a private school and considered quite elite. We also know of a St Aloysisius School Cathloic school in Scotland, another largely Protestant country.
