Or maybe they just were prematurely "old" looking, like you speculated. But what a treat to be able to pick your mother out, even though she was in one of the "blurry" rows.<br /><br />With regard to the tapestry, I think it is one long piece. As I thought about that, it seemed that fact would have created a lot of pressure in the stitchers to make sure every detail was just right. You'd hate to get to the last yard and make a mistake.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024443046207501650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-5962449629499043532010-09-19T20:12:33.789-04:002010-09-19T20:12:33.789-04:00Nancy,

I believe that in order to participate students either had to audition or be recommended by their local school choir director. My mother graduated from her local school at the end of the school year this photo was taken. There were less than 2 dozen in her graduating class.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-17033570377058425582010-09-18T22:16:56.506-04:002010-09-18T22:16:56.506-04:00i am glad or what, that i went to private school!!...i am glad or what, that i went to private school!!<br />there are so many folks in here!! but a great pic anyway. easily recognizable if you know who you are looking for...<br />:)~<br />HUGZBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-88181769214212910292010-09-18T15:18:11.128-04:002010-09-18T15:18:11.128-04:00Hey Nancy.i love the detail!
