Scope and content
A group portrait of the Kindergarten class at Washington School. Displays with a Halloween theme are seen beside the blackboard, perhaps "Five Little Pumpkins". Drawings of nursery rhymes line the top of the area. The girls all wear dresses and several wear saddle shoes. Many of the boys wear suspenders over their striped tee shirts. They have been discussing, "The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings, " from R.L. Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses.
