Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, is the setting here, and the picture shows a classroom inside the building in 1935. The National Photo Company, a Washington-based commercial studio that documented the city and its surroundings during the early twentieth century, made the negative, and it reached the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. Because the record notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied with the negative, the exact date and room are worth treating with some caution. Visitors may also notice streaks and blemishes, which the catalogers attribute to natural deterioration in the original coatings of this safety film.
