1928 in St. Charles, Idaho: 5th & 6th Grades


The reverse side of this photo is labeled as Grades 5 & 6 of St. Charles, Idaho 1928-27.  It certainly appears to be the same school (Wilson Grade School in St. Charles, Bear Lake County, Idaho) as in the more specifically labeled photo of the 7th & 8th graders.  The teacher is identified as Jack Wright.

The numbering on the front goes left to right, beginning with the boys kneeling in the front and proceeding up to the back row, and ending with #29.   There is a #6 at the end of the kneeling row and again at the beginning of the second row.  I do not know who made the annotations but it appears to be by an adult.  The names on the back are in numerical order with each one labeled with grade level; there are no other annotations.  [I've used these brackets below for my comments.]

  1. I was searching for the old St. Charles ward house when I stumbled onto this site. Wow. Number one in the 5 & 6 grade class is my grandfather James Pugmire, what an exciting thing to find "out of the blue". Thank you so much for posting these bits of history!
