[Sam Houston Elementary School, Marshall, Texas, Classroom with students and teacher, 1949]

Photograph taken in a classroom of Sam Houston elementary school in Marshall, Texas showing students, some sitting at desks and others standing in back with their music teacher, Mrs. Sims McCutchan, Jr. in the very back. The walls are of painted horizontal boards, with three multipaned windows with curtains and above those windows, just under the ceiling, three smaller, horizontal windows. A blackboard with Christmas greetings and decorations is on the other visible wall. The desks are old desks with cast iron frames with desk on one side and folding bench on the other. Between two of the windows, examples of students' art work are mounted, and "Girl Scout Laws" hang between the other windows. An empty desk in the front right of the photo shows the book shelf under the desk surface and what appears to be a book bag hanging from the corner of the iron frame. An unidentified male, possibly another teacher, is seated in front of Mrs. McCutchan. On the back of the photograph Mrs. McCutchan wrote: "1949, I was transferred to Sam Houston School to teach only music classes in grades 8 classes of music from 3rd through 7th grades."
