All boys Catholic boarding school early 1900's

My grandfather is probably somewhere in this photo, but I wasn't able to pick him out.
The school is The Academy of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, Saint Catherine's Convent. The school was also known as Saint Catherine's Convent School and Saint Catherine's Academy. It opened in 1905 with 6 grades and 60 students. There were four graduates in the first high school graduating class of 1913. My grandfather was one of them. I still have the invitation to his graduation that my Great Grandmother, Victoria, saved.
