Rexburg, Idaho: Early School Photo #2

Wilford looks about 12 in this photo, so it may have been taken about 1906 or so. The school postcard, marketed by H. D. Dodge, has a complete list of the kids in pencil on the back and some are labeled on the front. There is the same doorway as in Photo #1. Students look a little older don't they? Thirty six students as opposed to the 27 in Photo #1. Also look at the students' height both in relation to the school teachers on the back row of each photo and the number of rock layers (7 as opposed to 5 in Photo #1). Also, there must be a story behind the gloves on James in the front row.

Front Row, L-R : Ira, Edward, William, John, Earl, James, Wilford, Osker, Rual, Stanley, Willie, Vern,
Clarence. 2nd Row: Hellen, unlabeled girls section, boys on back row right: Opel, Tres.....

A little archive work could probably label all the kids. I wonder what the Rexburg Historical Society has on file?
