Scope and content
Empty classroom- Purdy Elementary School. Purdy Elementary was constructed in 1970 and opened in 1971. This appears to be a 4th grade classroom with the teacher's desk angled to face the student tables. There are no traditional student desks in this room as rectangular tables instead are spaced widely apart. Information on primitive man and a globe are located on a table next to the teacher's desk. According to the school's website, four portables, located near Peninsula High School, were used for a year before the school actually opened. It is unclear whether the picture above was taken in one of the portables; it does have paneled walls, bright lighting, and no windows visible.
