We note the Rose Branch School located in the little town of Lamar, in Barton County, Missouri.
It was quite a small school. Many school systems after World War II began doing away with these small chools as more children were bussed. We have only one photograph from the school, taken in 1954. Several boys wear T-shirts. Almost all of the boys wear jeans, a few old-fashioned bib-overalls. About half of the boys are barefoot. Also note the short hair cuts. We can't tell much about the girls because there are not very many of them and they are in the back row. I'm not sure what "#69" meant. Perhaps the country schools were numbered.
