Morning Star, December 13, 1998, pg. 19 Readers have been enjoying the rural school photographs which ran a few weeks ago. This week we move to the city and present a 1908 photograph of the Junior Class at Albion High School, the Class of 1909. This photograph was published in the school paper, The Breeze, but no names were identified. We have however been able to identify several in this photograph, which came to us via Frances (Warner) Ray. Front row (left to right): No. 1 is Clark Bishop Ray; number 4 is Brockway Dickie. Second row, No. 7 is Wilhemina Schumacher (Mrs. John Geyer). Third row, number 7 is Joseph W. Choate. Top row, No. 1 is Stuard Franklin Cooper, No. 4 is Roy Franklin Doyle, No. 6 is James Alfred Cuatt, and No. 7 is possibly Louis Wochholz. If you recognize others, let me know.
