Have you heard of the high school club called The League of Aspiring Gentlemen?

There are 50 members at Eau Claire Memorial High School (here in Wisconsin).

The teenage boys dress up — shirts, jackets, ties, slacks — and "learn what it was like to be a gentlemen" ("fashion, taste, manners, etiquette, style and... the finer things in life").
