Individual U.S. School: Unidentified Junior High School (early-1910s)


Figure 1.-- Here we see junior high school students. The school is not identified. The back of the portait has the name of two teachers, Miss Ryan and Miss Sniferest?, but there are some 100 children here, more than two classes. The dealer described it as a junior high school graduation. Junior high schools were 7th-9th grade between elementay (primary) schools and senior high school. Today middle schools are more common, usally 6th-8th grade. Without knowing the name of the schhol, we can not be sure about the grades. The children look like junior high school stidents, but we can not confirm that they are all from the graduating class which would be 9th graders, meaning 14-year olds.

Notice that all of the boys are wearing suits or white shirts and ties with knickers and long stockings. Some of the boys may be wearing knee pants rather than knickers, biut this id difficult to tell. It is notable that not one boy is wearing long pants. And they are all wearing black long stockings. The portrai is not dated, but we would guess it was taken about 1910-12. We know this because knickers began repalving knee pants about 1909. And the flag here is before Ariziona enterd the Union (1913). Thus 1900-12 seems a very likely date.
