Popular culture is a great resource. I think the reruns of Leave it to Beaver I grew up on give excelent examples of school and casual style. Wally was in HS, but the Beave dressed similar to his older brother. Also Archie comics have been around since the 1939, and they have always striven to represent current teen fashion. You can buy reproductions from the 1940s to get a really good sense of what high school style was like at that time.
