I found this 5th & 6th class photos for the Avondale School. I don’t know the year, maybe in the 1940’s or 1950’s. Maybe someone will recognize a person or two and post a date.

Avondale Class Field Trip

This photo is of Lela Graham with her class on a field trip to Lincoln Park. No school buses back then.  Most likely they traveled by streetcar down Diversey to get to the lake front.
