This portrait of the 6th grade class of the 3rd [?] Ward School in New Brighton, Pennsylvania, was probably taken around 1919 or 1920.
Someone has written names for most of the students on the back of the photograph, but it is badly faded and damaged in places. Sometimes a first or last name is left blank; this is marked here with "---". Question marks in square brackets are for those that are not clear; the more question marks, the more unclear it is.
