ST. MARY'S ACADEMY SENIOR CLASS PICNIC, LA CASA NUEVA
Color: Black; White
A black and white reproduction photograph with three copies of the St. Mary's Academy graduation class posed near the southeast entrance to La Casa Nueva, by Albert J. Kopec, 16 May 1925. The group of 56 girls, including Agnes Temple, who sits in the center of the middle row, kneel or sit on the ground in a front row, sit on benches in the middle row and stand in the back row. Behind them is the Mission Walkway and the entrance gate to La Casa Nueva, only part of which can be seen behind. Other details include some landscaping in the planters just outside the Mission Walkway walls, such as palm and fir trees, the partially finished low wall at the sides of the entrance and the cement walk on which the girls are posed. At the bottom left of the original negative is the date "May 16th 1925," next to which is "GRADUATION CLASS PICNIC SAINT MARY'S ACADEMY AT WORKMAN HOMESTEAD PUENTE, CALIFORNIA." At the right is the photographer's mark, reading "Kopec / LA." On the reverse of one of the 8x10 copies is, in pencil by a former museum curator "source: W. Temple Jr." The other three copies all have the number "844" in pencil on the center of the back. The smaller copy has some pink stains on the reverse, but the others have little indication of wear or damage and are in good condition.
