Ngl, that looks like a fun group. Back at that age, seeing that many boys smiling and getting along long enough for a picture was not realistic at my school lol.

I'm glad my school uniform wasn't as formal as that one.

What a fantastic picture! I genuinely hope that they had a decent life

The middle guy in the back looks like a natural born comedian!

I've always liked boot styles of the 20s and 30s. Upper-left has some nifty boots.

I love those little pockets, probably extremely useful back when a coin or three could be a day's lunch and/or transit money.
