I agree that is one awesome photo! Talk about a slice of history. It's amazing to see them all dressed in their best clothes and with such beautiful smiles.
I feel for the darling little girl with the braces on her legs (POLIO). Although she seems to be enjoying herself like the other kids are, I wonder if she would have preferred to hide her legs somehow. In my era (the 1950's) the little girl in our class who had a brace on one leg was allowed to wear pants while it was strictly dresses for the rest of us.
