Sand Hill School
Class of 1897-1898

Sand Hill School
1897-1898

These cards were a souvenir for the members of Sand Hill School in the class of 1897-1898.  Although not picked up well by the scanner, the cards are highlighted in gold.  Note that all the members of the school board appear to be relatives (perhaps parents?) of the students.  The organization of the pupils names appear to have a pattern - perhaps the school was split into three separate classes of students based on age or accomplishment?
