Burlingame High School 1911/1912

This is a photograph of the 10th, 11th, and 12th grade at Burlingame High School during the 1911-1912 school year. Zella, a senior, is at the top left, in the center of the window in a dark dress. Winifred, a sophomore, is in the front, standing, just to the left of the pipe, also in a dark dress. 

Incredibly, she was also able to identify nearly everyone, when she was putting albums together in the 1970's. Of course, lots of the people mentioned in her diaries are pictured here!
