Old Boys
Encyclopedia
The terms Old Boys and Old Girls are the usual expressions in use in the United Kingdom
for former pupils or alumni of primary and secondary school
s. While these are traditionally associated with independent schools
, they are also used for some schools in the state sector. The term is also used for those who attended New Zealand schools, Sri Lankan schools, a few universities in the UK and, to a lesser extent, schools in Australia
, Canada
and South Africa
.
The Old Boy form is given a specific identification for each school. Some schools use an adjectival form of the school name, such as "Old Etonian", "Old Harrovian", or "Old Reptonian" (old boys of Eton College
, Harrow School
, and Repton School
). Some use a Latin form derived from the Latin name of the school or its location as "Old Novocastrian" (old boys of the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne). Some are based on the name of the founder, such as "Old Wykehamist" and "Old Alleynian" (for old boys of Winchester College
, founded by William of Wykeham
, and Dulwich College
, founded by Edward Alleyn
). Some are based on the school's location or street, such as "Old Gowers" (for University College School
, originally in Gower Street
). Many of the schools have histories dating back several hundred years, and the Old Boy forms may have been in use for a hundred years or more. Other more recently established schools have devised Old Boy names that are distinctive to prevent confusion with other schools. The tradition for many girls schools has been to use the term "Seniors" rather than "Old Girls".
Almost all of these schools have old boy associations that use the official name. Some schools have amalgamated or been renamed through various transformations, but they usually maintain a consistent name for their old boy associations. Many of these schools have teams that compete nationally in sports such as cricket
, rugby union
, soccer, field hockey
and golf
, and these teams are usually referred to by the standard Old Boy name, although some also have nicknames. In deference to this tradition, the standard "Old Boys" is often used for sporting clubs and used as part of many sporting associations and clubs worldwide. Examples include Argentine football club Newell's Old Boys
, New Zealand rugby union club High School Old Boys RFC
and Swiss football club BSC Old Boys
