We have no information on this First Communion group. It looks like the 1940s, probabnly the early-40s. It has a more suburban look. The Communicants are all mostly done up in white. The boys wear white suits or shirts, Thev girls the junior wedding dresses. The front row with boys wearing short pants suits may be misleading. The boys in the back row do not all look like they are wearing suits. The group may not have attended a Catholic school and thus not so carefully prepared. We are not sure where the church was, but the trees in the background suggest the northeast. There are nuns and what looks like older girls in the back. We are not sure about the role of the older girls.
