Description

Landscape oriented black and white postcard depicting a class at the first Milner School. The photo has a white scalloped frame around the edge. There are 25 people (24 children and the teacher) standing in front of the white painted wooden school house with a wooden fence in the left background and a second small building in the right background.
People identified in the photo are as follows; Roberta Hutchinson is in the back row, fourth from left. Albert Percival (Percy) Mufford is in the front row, 11th from left. Leonard Hicks (Len) Mufford is in the back row, 11th from left. Kathleen Norris is in the front row, fourth from left. Lloyd Smith is in the front row, third from right. The teacher may be Miss Estey (Mrs. Medd).
A copy of this photo noted "1922", but another copy came in and said "1909 or shortly after that", which is likely correct.
