Photograph of eight young women and twelve young men sitting in four columns of student desk-chairs, as well as six women and one man standing against the left and back wall inside a slightly dark room. There is a tall door in the left wall and two tall windows with the shades down in the back wall. The women are wearing long-sleeve, long-skirt dresses, while the men are wearing suits and ties or bow-ties. Some of the people sitting at the desks have books, notebooks, and pencils on the desks in front of them. The photograph is mounted on a dark photo mat, and a white, rectangular sticker on the back of the mat indicates the photo may have been taken inside a Salado College or Thomas Arnold High School classroom.
