Content description:
Handwritten on the back, "High School Classes 1882-3." Photo shows either a class or several classes of a high school posing on the steps of the school. There is an even mix of boys and girls, several of whom are holding books on their laps. Sitting on the front step are two young adult men who are probably the teachers. Standing on the porch at the back of the group is an older woman wearing a hat and a gentleman with a full beard- possibly the principal.
Concepts:
high school; group portrait
