The funny thing is that I think he looks exactly like actor Harry Carey who was in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Remember the character who was the President of the Senate?
I bet the teacher of this class could still name every child 30 years later. And though the boys and girls will forget most of their classmate's names, they will always remember hers. So now you only need to find a photo of her.
I hate to say it, but I've finally reached the age where I can't remember my teacher's names nor my classmates. They're all gone from my mind. What they looked like I still retain, but names, other than Mrs. Merckle and Miss Sekiyoka..gone.
Hmm. It's strange what different people's memories retain and lose. I'm into my retirement years but I still recall all of my grade school teachers and young classmates as if I was still in grade school. However, the opposite is true of my college professors and classmates. Sometimes I even need to stop and think carefully about the name of the college!
I'm thinking the second boy on the left just may have gone into politics, what do you think?
