    There's something so surreal about this picture, the war-bonds poster on the right and the children looking at the globe on the left. It's almost ominous.

    Wonder if this is a one room school house. There seems to be a broad cross-section of ages of the children.

    That War Bonds poster is strangely similar to a lot of Soviet propaganda in the Cold War era... hhmmmm.

    Look at all those freckles!

    I wonder if that little girl is still alive?
  • Florin Cee said:
    What a great moment, so Rockwell-ish
    I was wondering that about most of the people in these photos.
  • Rob Scumaci said:
    I agree - stunning shot - like a Rockwell painting. I also find myself wondering what happened to these folks. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

    was the "paperclip belt" the "fad" back then?
  • Periodic Geese said:
    WOW what a picture.
  • Beverly Leeck said:
    Yes... the paperclip belt was just something fun we did back then!!! Can't think of anything similar except maybe those people who walk around with chains hanging from their belts. Children didn't usually have their own money so buying a wearable 'fad' would not be possible. We made our own :)
