Description:
A: Envelope to hold negatives. Labeled: "4/27/54 Grade School Groups".
B: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a school classroom, photographed from the rear and showing the front and blackboard. Lined in front of the blackboard are three rows of students, two standing and one kneeling in front. At left there is a man in a suit, presumably the teacher. The students are all early teens/adolescents. Above the blackboard is a clock and a portrait of George Washington. Several student desks are visible in the foreground.
C: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different school classroom, photographed from the rear and showing the front with blackboard, which is populated with drawings of boats and a cityscape. In front of the blackboard, the students are arranged in three rows, two standing and one seated. They are all very young, elementary school aged. Behind them stands a woman, presumably the teacher. A 48 star United States flag hangs above the blackboard.
D: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing the confluence of two walls with blackboards at front and left. Three rows of students, the front seated on the floor, are featured in the middling area and are probably preteens. Behind them stands a woman, presumably the teacher. There are musical notes on the blackboard to the left. A United States flag, seemingly the 48 star, hands on a pole above the left blackboard. Artwork on construction paper hangs in a long series above the blackboards. Exposed brick can be seen on the walls toward the ceiling.
E: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, photographed from the rear and showing the front with the blackboard, which has a circular chart with cursive text. The students, seemingly early teens/adolescents, are arranged in three rows, the front one kneeling. A woman stands at left, presumably the teacher. Above the blackboard are several rolled screens, possibly projector screens or maps. The teacher's desk can be seen at left and hanging light fixtures toward the ceiling.
F: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing a side wall with a blackboard and a door to a coatroom off to the right. A group of students is shown, arranged into three rows, with the front kneeling, and are probably early teens/adolescents. At left is a man in a suit and bowtie, presumably the teacher. Student desks are visible in the foreground, facing the left. A large square pillar separates the room at left.
G: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, photographed diagonally and showing the rear corner at the confluence of the back and right walls. The right wall bears a corkboard, on which hang various arts and crafts. Students are arranged into two rows, and five studnets are seated at desks in front of them. A woman stands to the right in front of the corkboard, presumably the teacher. The children are elementary school aged, pre—adolescents.
H: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing a wall with a small blackboard bearing simple words, as if for a spelling lesson. The students, very young, maybe first grade, are arranged in three rows, with the front row seated on the floor. The teacher stands behind them. Above the blackboard is a series of depictions of a duck and another bird, possibly made by the students. The stripes of a United States flag are visible near the top right.
I: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing a side view of the wall with the door. There are corkboards on either side of the door, the one at left bearing a poster for Hawaii. A Pan American World Airways calendar hangs on the door. The students, elementary school aged, are arranged in three rows, the front seated on the floor. A short woman, presumably the teacher, stands behind them. Desks and work tables are visible at left and right of the group. Exposed brick characterizes the wall above the door.
J: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing a side wall with a door with frosted class and a roll curtain at right. The students, elementary aged pre—adolescents, are arranged into three rows, the front seated on the floor. A woman, presumably the teacher, stands at left. Folding chairs are visible at left, below a picture of a street scene on the wall.
K: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of the same classroom and subjects from negative "E," arranged identically to that image.
L: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing the confluence of two walls with blackboards at the left and background. Above the background blackboard hangs a portrait of George Washington and a series of arts and crafts on construction paper. The students, young elementary school aged, are arranged into three very neat rows, the front row seated on the floor. The teacher stands in the center behind them. Exposed brick characterizes the wall above the blackboards.
M: Negative in horizontal view of a hallway in the school building, with a stairwell at right. Two rows of folding chairs are visible in the foreground, and more can be seen folded and leaning against the left wall in the background. A group of early teen/adolescent students is arranged into three rows, the front seated on the floor. At left is a man in a suit, presumably the teacher. A door and corkboard are visible behind them.
N: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, photographed from the rear and showing the front with a blackboard and adjacent corkboards. There are a jumble of student desks visible in the foreground. A rather large group of adolescent students is arranged into three rows, the front kneeling. It is unclear if the teacher is in the image. A portrait of George Washington hangs over the flagpole with U.S. flag at left. A model of an indiscernable celestial body hangs from the ceiling at left.
O: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing what seems to be a side wall with two doors. A calendar hangs on the wall at left of the doors. A group of preadolescent students is arranged into three rows, the rear standing, middle seated on chairs and front seated on the floor. The teacher stands in the center behind them. Exposed brick characterizes the wall above the doors.
P: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of the same school hallway from negative "M." Folding chairs are visible in the foregound, and leaning in the background. A group of adolescent students is arranged into three rows, the rear standing, the middle seated on chairs, and the front seated on the floor. The teacher stands at left.
Q: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, photographed from the front and showing the rear wall with large windows. Desks with scattered books occupy the periphery at left and foreground. A group of elementary school aged students is arranged into three rows, the back standing, middle seated on chairs, and front seated on the floor. The teacher stands between two windows behind them.
R: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of the same classroom from negative "C." Drawings of faces occupy the blackboard. A group of elementary school aged children is arranged into three rows, the front seated on chairs. The teacher stands in the center behind them.
S: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing a side view with the door at left. Both the background and left walls have blackboards. Artwork on construction paper hangs on the background wall, and posters on the left, below a United States flag. Student desks facing the left occupy the foreground. A group of elementary school aged children are arranged in three rows against the blackboard, the rear standing, middle seated on chairs, and the front seated on the floor.
T: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, showing a side wall with windows. At left is the teacher's desk and at right the Alaskan flag hangs from a pole on the wall. In between the windows hang depictions of men riding horses. The pre—adolescent students are arranged into two rows, the rear standing on chairs and the front standing on the floor.
U: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a different classroom, photographed from the rear and showing the front, with a blackboard and a door at right. Over the blackboard are a series of short posters listing numbers and letters of the alphabet. A United States flag hangs over the blackboard. A group of elementary school aged children are arranged into three rows, the rear standing, the middle seated on chairs, and the front seated on the floor.
