    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.

    That is adorable! I think the girl in front has a crush on the boy to her right.

    furth, it's a kid's book from the 30s, Gumpy is a dog. The secondary title is "The Story of a Little Sled Dog With a Big Heart."

    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.
