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.

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.

Early 1900 Teachers of the Avondale School

Lela Graham, shown at the right, with 3 other teachers from the Avondale School. These teachers look like they were very capable in handling a class size of over 40 pupils.

This photo was taken sometime around 1900. It shows Lela Graham with her class of 43 students at the Avondale School. The photo was taken on the north end of the school looking west. The house in the background is still standing.

Every school day, Miss Graham would walk to Milwaukee Avenue from her house on Goodman Street in Jefferson Park and take the Milwaukee Avenue streetcar to Diversey, and then walk two blocks to school.
