Unidentified group of middle school students

Description

Black and white image of a group of students standing in front of a school building. A board in the left foreground states that the students are '7-8-9 Grade'. The girls wear knee-length dresses or skirts, gathered in at the waist and generally with long sleeves. Most of the clothes are made of dark colored material, but at least two girls wear white or light colored dresses. The girls wear their long and pulled back into long pony tails tied with large ribbons. The boys wear suits or pants and jackets over work clothes. Some of the boys have brogans, while the girls all appear to wear button up boots. Several adults stand in the rear of the group; the men wear suits with ties and the women wear blouses and skirts and their hair is mostly worn in the full, 'Gibson Girl' style. The group stands before the entrance to a large building that features windows with both vertical and horizontal and diagonal panes.
