Item Information

Title:
Group photograph, 2nd grade class (1914)
Description:
Black-and-white group photograph of the 2nd grade elementary school class of Hopkinton in 1914. The 37 children are standing, kneeling and sitting outside in three rows on a day in spring or summer, at the corner of Hayden Rowe and Main St. near the Hopkinton Common. All of them are in dress clothes, with child-sized buttoned shirts, suits, ties and dresses. Many of the girls have large bows on their heads. One child on the right side has a heavily blurred face, the result of him moving his head too much during the exposure. The teacher of the class, Ellen Kelly, is not included. A large house and two rows of tall, straight trees can be seen in the background. The photo comes with a handwritten sheet of paper containing the names of most of the students in the picture in each row, as well as the teacher. Five names are completely unknown, and "Long" and "Ethel" only have their last and first names identified.
