  1. They all look very serious. I can’t imagine teaching all those grades in one class.

  2. That is a fabulous photo. I love the little boys in overalls with their hands in their pockets. They would be the farm boys! I imagine teaching all those children was serious business.

  3. Also. I thought the one boy in the first row had a catchers mit yet turns out it is his hat. He appears to be either goofing around or holding hands with boy 2 kids to his right behind their classmates back.

Thanks for your visit. It's always good to hear you stopped by.
