There are no notes on the back of this charming photo to help us decipher what we are looking at, only the words “Schools 4-col no story.” That tells us the photo ran on its own in the Education section, with only a headline and caption; there wasn’t a full story, so all details must have been included in the caption. The handwriting is recognizable as our late Editor Curtiss Clark, but he didn’t include a date on the photo itself and the original tag that would have gone with the photo into our Production department has long disappeared. Curtiss worked for this paper from 1973 until his retirement in May 2016, so that narrows the mystery just a smidge. —Bee file photo
