"The names were apparently copied to the back of the photograph by Newell Dole from a list on the school blackboard. I'm sure some of them suffered in the double transcription."

County Coordinator Note: The unconventional right-to-left numbering has led to some loss of accuracy. It is unclear whether all pupils are correctly identified. There are multiple misspellings of names, such as "Yaskle" instead of "Yackle" and "Cecil Force" instead of "Foree." (His wife, Hazel Foree, was my favorite teacher of all time. She taught arithmetic in 7th grade at Akron Grade School in 1952.)

I have corrected the names I know to be wrong, but there may be additional errors. Please help with identification, as this site relies on searchability, and misspellings make it more difficult.
