De Queen, 1912: Some 112 years ago, the first grade class and their teacher posed outside their school. Seated to the left of the chalk sign in the bottom row is a boy in short pants and no shoes. The faces reflected a wide range of emotions. The stoic teacher would have earned about $300 for a year's work with that class. Send questions or comments to Arkansas Postcard Past, P.O.
