School Photographs
Every year all the school children get their photographs
taken at school. Parents buy the photographs and give them to grandparents and
relatives. This practice started at least as early as 1930 because here are
pictures from that era.
Three photos from Nancy Steppe
These pictures came from the box of pictures that great
grandmother Emma Steppe had. Laymond Steppe inherited the box and wife Nancy
Steppe shared what she has left with me. These are pictures of great
grandmother Emma’s grandchildren. Left to Right: Maggie Jordan, Clyde Jordan,
and Laymond Steppe. Laymond’s picture shows his schoolbook.
Two photos Author
School pictures from my mother’s album, Sylvia Steppe in the
first grade and me, Bailey Steppe, in the second grade at Rustburg School.
