2007-012.I433PDescription
Mountain View Kids, 1976. These five black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using two separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are duplicated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
The images in group "a" show children in classrooms. Image 23a shows children seated in desks in a classroom. The child at the center of the image is sitting with one leg over the back of their desk chair. They are also holding a small object and facing away from the camera. The teacher is partially visible sitting at a desk in the background. Image 24a shows a child seated at a desk in a classroom. This child is leaning the chair to their right. This child is facing away from the camera. Image 25a is nearly identical to the previous image. Image 26a shows several children seated at desks in a classroom. The child nearest to the camera has long, slightly wavy hair, and they are facing away from the camera. A child just to the left of center in the image is looking toward the camera. Image 27a shows several children sitting at desks in a classroom. A girl on the far side of the classroom is turned toward the camera and raising her hand. Image 28a shows several children seated at desks in a classroom. Image 29a shows a little boy with curly hair speaking. Image 30a shows several children seated at desks in a classroom. The girl at the center of the image is wearing a turtleneck sweater and a long necklace. She is facing toward the camera.
