Historical pageant at the school. Viv.
My husbands mother, Dorothy Lillian Ward, she is the girl sitting at the front 3rd in on the left,
she was 7/8 years old in this photo.
He was wondering who all the other children are, he's sure that their families would love to see
their Grandparent or even Great Grandparent when they were at school. Don't they all look smart
on Parents Day in 1933? Also wondering who Y. Cook is, was he/she the photographer or their
teacher?
Thanks
