New Trier High School was segregated when Life visited this school in an affluent white Illinois suburb. Even now the school is something like 86% white while schools just a few miles away are heavily attended by minorities.

Back before school systems banned the wearing of blue jeans to class. Levi's 501 Blue Jeans in abundance in these pictures.
