Note from Cheryl Parks - This picture was found in my great-aunt's collection. I'm not sure of the year, but it had to have been in the early 1940's. All of the students names are listed on the back of the photo (including the teacher, although my aunt thought that he was "Mr. Bill" instead of "Mr. Beall"). When I asked my grandmother the name of the school, she pronounced it "Penny Ann". My great-aunt is Melvina Sandefer (2nd row from the top, 5th from the left in black shirt & jumper); my grandmother is Shirley Sandefer (little girl standing on the bottom row at the far left with her arms crossed). The 5th boy from the left in the top row is James Hughes, my grandmother & great-aunt's step-brother. Also, 2nd boy in the bottom row from the right is Bobby Scroggs, my grandmother & great-aunt's step-nephew.

According the Chet Pelton (chetpelton@comcast.net) he is the boy in the front row second from the left.  He identifies the year as 1946 and the students as:
