Centerville School was a rural primary school. This postcard-back portrait shows the children and parents in front of the school in 1913. It is some kind of special event, apparently a school reunion. And the children are all dressed up to celebrate which is why so many are wearing hats. The poertrait is notavle for a display of the destinctive 1910s hats. It is the last decade in which large numbers of children, especially the boys will be seen wearing hats. Caps were becoming dominant in the 1920s and by the 30s hats for boys were clearly on the decline. Gats were seen as more formal than caos nd by the 1920s no longer commonly seen at school. The school was torn bown in 1921.
