Description

Lacey School 2nd grade class depicted in black and white 5" x 8" photograph with 1/8" to 3/16" white border. The front row and middle row of students are all female and there are 21 in total. The back row is comprised of 10 boys. The group is pictured indoors on bleacher seats, presumably in the Lacey School gym. The students in the front row are sitting, while the ones in the back two rows are standing. The teacher, Mrs. Moes, is standing in a row in between the girls' and the boys' row. At the bottom of the image is typed: "Lacey School - 2nd Grade - 1964 - Mrs. Moes. Merle Junk Photo." Handwritten at top edge by donor, and very difficult to read: "1964 2nd Grade Mrs. Moes MY BOYFRIEND LARRY MERCER" and an arrow pointing to the third boy from the right in the back row. On the back of the photo, Jill's mother wrote the names of each classmate in blue ballpoint pen as follows: "front row: l to r: Karin O'Neil, Pam Davis, Diane Berg, Lucille Purdy, Debby Hoffman, Polly Wieks, Robyn Degan, Lisa Colson, Ruth Ann Tarbet, Jill Hemphill, Tracey Meek. 2nd row: Alice Shilter [sic], Rhonda Bratton, Stacey Decker, Patty Jensen, Judy Hall, Jayna Clark, Denise Fouts, Betty Mayes, Sue Abernathy, Sandy Huntamer. Mrs. Moes. 3rd row: Charlie Crook, Tom Davis, Edwin Richardson, Mark Jorgensen, Gilbert Jackson, Philip Madsen, Craig Arnold, Larry Mercer, Gary Baesen, David Simpson. Jill absent with 3 day measles!" Some point later, donor Jill added the word "NOTICE:" in front of the statement about her illness and underlined it. She also emphasized Larry Mercer's name with lines radiating out from his name. In pencil, she wrote at the bottom "WEBSITE SAYS FINAL YEAR: 1961." This is in reference to a confusing statement on our website that noted that the final [8th grade] graduating class was in 1961 without clarifying that the school continued to host elementary students until 1967.
