This photo was submitted by Cheryll Sumner.  Some of the students and parents have been identified.  Can you help us identify all of them who are still unknown?

Note from Cheryll:  This is the old Morrow School that burned.  My uncle Herston Black let me copy this photo which he had copied from original owned by Pearl Black.  Uncle Herston identified the people he could remember and thinks he has another copy with all the names on the back, so I'll try to get them all from him later.  My scanner cut off three people on the photo (on the left side) an undentified male and Sam Morrow standing beside third row and a Mr. Jim Pinkerton on horseback.

If you have information regarding this photo, please contact Cheryll.
