EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of daily life at Harrow School during the 1920s. The image shows a group of young boys, all in their distinctive uniforms, gathered in a spacious school yard for the compulsory 'Bill' or 'Call Over'. This traditional roll call was held three times a day in each House at the prestigious private institution, located in Harrow on the Hill, London. The boys, all wearing their crisp, white shirts, navy blazers, and straw boaters adorned with the school crest, stand at attention, their gazes fixed on the unseen figure conducting the roll call. The distinctive hats, a hallmark of Harrow School, add to the sense of unity and tradition. The setting, with the tall, imposing walls of the school chapel in the background, further emphasizes the private and exclusive nature of the educational establishment. The open yard, bathed in soft, natural light, contrasts with the structured order of the boys lining up for roll call. The 1920s, also known as the 'Roaring Twenties', was a time of great social and cultural change. Yet, despite the modernity outside its walls, Harrow School remained steadfast in its traditions, providing a stable and disciplined environment for its students. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily routine of a private public school during this era.
