Figure 2.--Here are some of the 1st graders at Clovis School in 1925. It looks to be a standard elementary )Primary) school. Put your cursor on the image to see the rest of the class. |

We notice a portrait of the first grade class at the Clovis School in This would mean 6-year olds. Many of the boys wear long pants. That was not very common in the 1920s. I think this was a social-class matter. Clovis is located in the Llano Estacado and eastern New Mexico area bordering on Texas. It is a largely agricultural area. And this is relected in the children clothes Interestingly mazny of the boys wear overalls with the large collars commonly wirn by younger boys at the time. Most of the boys have shoes, Some of the boys wear short pants and long stockings. The boys have a variety of hair cuts, but not a lot of combing is going on. Notice how common the standard bangs and bob is with the girls. Strangely, Clovis while a small town is notable for two very different matters. Clovis is near the site where the clovis point projectiles were found. And in sharp contrast the town played a role in the early history of rock music.

The destinctively fluted Clovis points are among the oldest tools discovered in North America and some of the very limited archeological evidence of the human settlement of North America. They date roughly to the Paleoindian period around 11,500 years ago. They were first discovered at a site near Clovis, New Mexico (1929). Quite a number have been found , and have often been found with the remains of ice age animals that early Americans hunted. The Clovis people afixed these elegabt flint points to lances or spears and are believed to have hunted prey animals in groups. Clovis points and similar tools, were made from flint, often found hundreds of miles distant from the sites where they have been found. Anthropologists interpret this that the Clovis took makers traveled considerable distances following herds which they targeted. As proto-Indians transversed the Bearing land bridge much earlier, Antropolgists for many years believed that Clovis technology was developed in North America many years later. Other assessments have since emerged. Some believe that Upper Paleolithic peoples after migrating into North America from northeast Asia, reverted back to inherited Clovis-style flaked-stone technology that existed before enttering North America. Others insist that Clovis technology is different than that known ti the people of northeast Asia. Strong archeologists have noted strong similarities with flint points produced by the Solutrean culture of the Iberian peninsula
