Liberty Center Elementary Class of 36/37 First Grade

The image is a black and white class photograph featuring a group of young children, dressed in vintage attire, along with their teacher, likely taken during the 1936-37 school year at Liberty Center. The children are arranged in three rows, with the first row seated on a bench and the others standing behind them. The boys are mostly wearing shirts with suspenders or overalls, while the girls are in dresses. They all have varied expressions, ranging from smiles to serious looks. The teacher stands to the side, wearing a dark dress with a lace collar, observing the class. The backdrop is plain and dark, highlighting the children and teacher in the foreground. The photograph bears handwritten text that reads, "FIRST GRADE LIBERTY CENTER 1936-37," marking the occasion and providing historical context. The wooden floor adds a rustic charm, suggesting the photograph was taken inside the school's gym or auditorium.
