This negative shows students at Tech High School in Washington, D.C., around 1936, a view of a school whose pupils were trained for technical and trade careers. The National Photo Company, a commercial firm that photographed the capital extensively in the 1920s and 1930s, made many images like it for sale to visitors and publishers. The title came from the company's own notes and has not been independently verified, so the exact location and occasion are best read as approximate. The record also notes possible streaks and blemishes from the natural breakdown of the film coatings, which may be visible in the image.
