(click on the photograph to open an enlargement)

This would appear to be a 1st Year Junior (Year 3) class.  This is a very small class for the date, probably because it was housed in a small room; other classes that year had around 45 pupils in each. There is a noticeable imbalance in the number of boys and girls!

This was Mr. Ettling's first year as headteacher.  The School Log Book identifies that the picture was taken on Friday 1 June. It would appear that parents could purchase a copy of the photograph (size 81/2 inches by 61/2 inches) for 3/- (three shillings).
