Laurel School
Title
Laurel School
Description
Black and white portrait of five students, three girls and two boys, all dressed up for the photo. One girl, seated, wears a brace on her leg. Laurel School was one of two which served the community of Laurel, south of Hillsboro on Highway 219. In 1933, the school's directors applied for government funding to install a gravity flow water system, as all water for the school had to that point been hauled by hand from a nearby well. The students shared a communal dipper for drinking from a water bucket. The water system installed by the Public Works Administration was still in use in the late 1970s.
