On the Sorrows of the Plains
I was digging through a box of photos I've had for years but hadn't looked through in a while when I came across this school photo. It's a kindergarten class most likely from Blair, Nebraska (the photo is credited to A. E. Hanna Blair, Nebr. on the back). I'm guessing it dates from around 1930.
Here are a few close-ups.

From the style of the cloche hat the date may be 1922 - 25.

Nicholas- You could be right though I see cloche hats in photos throughout the 20s (especially in small towns). It was with some other photos that were certainly from the 30s but given the hat and all the boys in sailor outfits I probably should push the date back into the 20s.
