Small groups of students looked at three large photographs -- one of a class from Verona in 1923, a photo from Picadilly in 1903, and a photo of a class from Rideau School in 1915. Our guests chose a student, imagined a name, described the clothing and thought about how the student arrived at school.
they then thought about what was in the friend's lunch and whether or not they had brothers and sisters in the class.
Why wee the students all so sober-looking--no smiles. It probably had to do with the serious business of having your picture taken--a formal activity. Quite different from today!!
