Gwynne Institute School building still stands on Second Street

Fort Myers. The First Grade Teacher was Miss P. Pearl
Patch. At the
end of the school year, the children were taken across the river
to a
park in North Fort Myers for a picnic. This is June 8,
1934. The
mothers supplied the food and drinks, etc. A few names are:
3rd from
left standing is Henley Bowden Clark. Next to him is Hazel
Clarkson.
At the far end of that row is Ann Winston McGinn. The
charming
brunette seated 3rd from right is Billie Washburn. Can you help
identify more of them?
