Item description from seller

Two sepia toned gelatin silver photographs measuring 13.5" x 10.5" and 9.5" x 7.5" of an eighth grade Union Grammar School graduating class and the same class graduating from West Haven High School in Connecticut from 1920 and 1924. The Union Grammar School picture is affixed to a thick card with some wear and a small mark, near fine. The other photo is loose and has light wear and some tears thus very good. Two photographs of the same students during their graduation from their eighth grade class Union Grammar School and later West Haven High School in Connecticut from 1920 and 1924. "Crosby, Chapel St. New Haven CT," is embossed on the bottom right corner of the high school graduation picture which was the Union Grammar School where both pictures were taken. Out of the 134 student that graduated in eighth grade only 66 are pictured in the high school photo. A majority of the students were women might indicate how eager women were to receive education. The eighth grade students are wearing suits and very pretty white gowns while in their high school picture the students are dressed in suits and white dresses with large bouquets on the girl's laps. Several girls in both pictures played on West Haven's girls basketball team and one girl, Marion Crowe (Left side, second row, 9 over), was the 1923 captain of the basketball team. Few smiles are seen on the faces of the younger children. However, in the high school pictures a few smiles find their way onto the hopeful students faces of young people eager to start their lives. The school building is now functioning as an adult home. An interesting look at education in the 1920s.…
