The Cadets at my School

[Dan R Porter]

heh they teach boxing to teach respect. I hope they had a good corner-man!

When you first start the school and see the uniform you want to die of shock.
But as the months go bye, you become very proud. Everyone in the village stares at you with pride, it can cause the odd punch up with other schools.

There's probably more than a little bit of jealousy at work with those other schools. I'll wager that you and your mates' pride in the uniform will only grow as years pass.

That is a cool school picture!

Correct me if I'm wrong, the 1st cadet on the left in the photo, is that a lassie.
Or are me eyes finally failing me?

Hmm, Now Lady Chrystel wants to send our girls out to this school !

This is so, so impressive for us French folks of Scottish ancestry.

Thank you very much for posting this great photo.


Best,

Wow, I grew up in SLC, Utah. No school uniforms here if you are in public school and even private schools don't have such wonderful uniforms.

I think they look very good!!!

Of course Hunting Stewart happens to be my favourite tartan.

I agree that the uniform looks very good indeed - and I speak as one who wore school uniforms from the age of five until I was eighteen (alas, not with the kilt however!).

It is interesting to note that the lassies' uniform has subtle differences to that of the laddies - no sporran, the kilt is of a smaller sett, the tunic has no breast pockets and no kilt hose are worn. How very sensible! I am afraid I am old-fashioned enough to find it very difficult to accept females wearing absolutely identical uniforms to their male counterparts, especially in pipe bands, but the girls at the QVS look just great.

Take care,
Ham.
