Rockton School 1910-Widmer Girls

How cute is this? Ruth is under the arrow, Hazel is the teacher, Geneva is above the "x", and I don't know where Winnie is.
And I'm sure you all know to double click on the picture to enlarge it. ---Mary

Wow, Mary, what a great picture. I've never seen this one or any like it. I love the fact that it's not overly posed. It looks so natural. I didn't know Hazel was a teacher. What a cute group! - Laura

That's a lot of kids for Rockton. It must have been a booming town at one point. This one's new to me, also. Love it... thanks Mary.

What an awesome picture. It reminds me of Little House on the Prarie. I wonder what the inside of the school looked like? Small desks, no air conditioning, limited supplies and all ages together. Wouldn't it be cool if Hazel kept a journal of her teaching days? Thanks for sharing, Mary!! --Sarah

That would be cool if she kept a journal. I think the girl in the front row with her hand on her hip is funny. Looks like she has an attitude going on. :) ~Kim

Kim I think you are right about the little girl with her hand on her hip--Rockton's Nellie Olson!! ~Bonnie
