Most of them are wearing knit hats and all but one are wearing light colored long-sleeve shirts that lace down the front. The boy on the far left is holding what appears to be a rugby ball. The boy on the far right is Charles Cheney (1866-1942). He attended St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire from 1882 to 1885.
