[Jesse Henderson Writing]

Photograph of a Gates Elementary boy, identified as Jesse Henderson through the name tag worn on his jacket, writing on a loose sheet of paper. He is looking at additional pieces of paper while doing so. A second boy looks on from his right side. The hands of other students can be seen around the photograph, but they have mostly been cropped out. Snack-size chocolate bars are scattered around the table. Accompanying information does not supply a lot of information, except that the photograph was taken during International Trends: A Global Village Activity, an unspecified event sponsored by the Links organization.

Photograph of presenters and award recipients standing in a large row at the Service to Youth Award Program, an event providing scholarships to graduating seniors; presumably, at the high school level.

A presenter is behind them, standing on an elevated platform and giving a speech from a microphone atop a wooden podium. Framed art, hanging party stream, and tables and chairs can be seen around the large party.
