Description
When I was a wee lad, I went to St. Peter's Preparatory School in Jersey City, an all-boys Jesuit High School. I love my time there, and when I purchased the Science Class bundle from Daz3d, it reminded me of my Chemistry homeroom, and I just had to recreate it with a modern touch. We all had to wear shirts and ties (technically jackets too, but it depended on how hot it was), no jeans or sneakers, turtlenecks were also acceptable. I was one of those kids who loved school, and found it to be an amazing experience. My experience was so atypical I can not relate to most teen dramas. The jock, nerds, drama geeks and even the weirdos all got along pretty well.
Senior year was pretty weird, some guys still looked like children, while others occasionally looked older than the teachers. I fell into the baby faced category, my last growth spurt came in the summer before college.
I can't imagine what it must be like today, but I'd never trade my experiences for a sneak peek into today's high school.
Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with me.

Technically that's me (although I wish I looked that studly). I always kick off my shoes for comfort.
A very fine memory for you! I'm glad you recreated it and shared it with us! A very fine and intelligent looking group of young and handsome students! Love the little details, like the kid in the front row cooling his feet off showing of his whit socks! Most fantastic details! Way to go with this fine recreation! Many fine kudos and praises from me!
Thank you, for your kind praise.
A great job on this classroom setting.
Thank you.
Looks as though the class is very attentive! Must be a good teacher!
I suppose I am doing a little historical rehabilitation. My classmates were ghastly to him. I had (have) a great love of chemistry, which is why this was the rare class I sat up front. Mr. W. was new to teaching, and had trouble controlling a room full of teenage boys. It wasn't that they weren't interested in learning, just that they were teenagers.
A very nice scene. Everyone is different. Everyone is posed different and realistically. Great attention to detail. One even has his shoe off!
Thank you.
Marvelous and beautiful!!!!!!👍🙋♂️
Thank you.
Very nice scene, very neat, superbly done, excellent work. I didn't have the same kind of schooling as you, but I agree with you. I wouldn't trade my experience for that of today's youth for anything in the world.
Agreed. Thank you for the kind praise.
Your new image is very nicely done!
I wish you and yours a very nice Sunday, take care and stay healthy!
Thank you, and all the best to you!
Today's youth could certainly use this kind of experience. It would do a world of good for them and all the rest of us as well..
Really well done look into this classroom.
Thank you
Magnificent setting, very realistic !
Your dedication to school life is golden.
We uniforms in grade school back in the day.
Can’t imagine the reaction of students and parents alike if this was suggested nowadays.
In grammar school, we had uniforms,it made it easy to figure out what to wear. (❛̃ ͜ʖ❛̃)
