TITLE: Class photos

ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by school year, thereunder by grade.

DESCRIPTION: This series contains official school class photographs along with photos of faculty and staff. Photos from the 1953-54 to the 1969-70 school years are black and white and show individual portraits of each student in the class, along with portraits of the teacher and the principal. Beginning with the 1970-71 school year the photos are all color. Those from the 1970-71 to the 1996-97 school years are group photos, while photos from the years after that are compiled images of individual portraits similar to those from the 1950's and 60's. While personal duplicate copies of these photos would have been available to the students and faculty/staff members pictured in the photos, the particular photos in this series were bound in small albums, one for each school year, and were retained as the official school copy. Many of the individuals in the photos have been identified on the photo or on an accompanying sheet, but in some cases the individuals in the photos are unidentified.
