Figure 1.-- This cabinet card portrait has no accompnying information. It looks to us like a high school in a small town. We are not entirely sure, but it is the most likely guess. At the time high schools cold be quite small. At the turn of the century, it was quite an achievement to go to school. Most children finished their education in primary school some where beteen 6th and 8th grade. The style of the cabinet card and the clothes suggests the mid-1900s to us. We can see the classic stone building behind, complete with ivy. The students would have been about 14-18 years of age. A few of the boys in front look a little younger, but like the older children in an elementary school. Of course kids at the turn of the century look a little younger than modern children.
