Figure 1.-- Here we see what we iitially thought was a high school class. The bricj work in the background suggests to us that it ws recently built. The boys are some of the older boys at the school. We would guess perhaps the junior class (17 year olds) or perhaps even the senior class (18 year olds). There appears to be some age differencevin the group, but that is always the case. The only thing we don't understand is that it is an all boy group. American high schools with very few exceptions were coeducational. Put your cursor on the image tobsee the rest of the group.

Here we see what we initially thought was a high school class. The bricj work in the background suggests to us that it ws recently built. The boys are some of the older boys at the school. We would guess perhaps the junior class (17 year olds) or perhaps even the senior class (18 year olds). There appears to be some age differencevin the group, but that is always the case. The only thing we don't understand is that it is an all boy group. American high schools with very few exceptions were coeducational. We don't think a class group would be separate for boy/girl portrait. It is a small class group, but a lot of high schools were small in the early-20th century. So this could be a class group. And often these small high schools were in small towns in rural areas. At such schools therecwere often more girls than boys because the fathers kept the boys working on the farm. This may be some activity group, but most activity group (like the debate team or Latin class) unless it was a sports team would probably be coeducational. So we are not entirely sure justvwhat this group is. The only mrking on the back is the nne of one ofcthe boys--Malcomb. The portrait is undated, but the clothes we believe date it to the early-1910s. Perhaps readers will have some insights to offer.
