Uniform
Much importance is placed upon the neatness of boys' appearance. School colours are maroon, white and navy. Uniform consists of the standard school blazer, standard black flannels, grey shirt (for years 8, 9 and 10) or white shirt (for years 11 to 14); the school tie and a light grey v-necked pullover (although boys in Years 13 and 14 may wear a navy pullover).

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
