Advance School 1933 View Photo

3rd and 4th grade class of Advance in 1933. This 1933 photo is from a "souvenir"
booklet of several pages with the teachers picture on the front with a large postage
stamp sized picture of the class that I blew up for you. Inside is a 4 page poem, a
list of the children and a handwritten note from Miss Verona Caldwell (the teacher).
I can send all of the pages if you would like. It is pretty neat. My mothers maiden
name was June Sample.

children of Andrew Johnson and Bertha (Price) Alcorn
They are Bessie, Reynold Esco, Beulah, and Flossie Alcorn

White Oak School taken 14 Aug 1914. View Photo
This photo belonged to my grandmother, Myrtle Smith, and was taken in August 14, 1914.
I know they lived in Liberty Twnsp. Stoddard County at that time.
Her older sister, Pansy and older brother Herbert were also in the picture according to the writing she did on the back.
She also mentions a teacher, who she said was her second teacher (my grandmother Myrtle was born in 1908) and names her as Lucy Vaught or Vaughn, but appears to be Vaught.
She also mentions someone named "Virgie Stringer?" of whom I know nothing about that person. The writing is very light on the back so I am not positive on that name.
The name on the schoolhouse in the picture is partially missing but appears it may say "White Oak School".
This photo is thanks to Lavonne Covington.

More information on the School from: Cole Mason.
I have an original copy of one of the Christmas cards that the teacher gave to the kids that year. The Christmas card is rather elaborate. On the front it has a picture of the teacher, Lucy Vaught. In the upper left corner it says “Souvenir. It is decorated with holly and berries. In the middle is the picture and under that it says Greetings and Best Wishes from Your teacher. Under that is a picture of a sleigh and reindeer.
On the next page it says North White Oak School, District No 99, Stoddard Co., MO. Under that it says presented by Lucy Vaught, teacher. 1914-1915.
Under that it says School Officers: Isem Harbough, president, A. B. Riddle, clerk, Henry Smith.
On the next page the students names are listed:
