Boys marching straight toward the camera give this view a sharper focus than the other scenes on the board. The caption card names the Golden Industrial School and files the picture under Denver, and its subject tags point to military drill and reform schooling. Reform schools of the early twentieth century often used drill and uniforms to instill discipline and daily routine, so the formation here reflects a common institutional practice of the period. The date is uncertain, recorded as between 1910 and 1915 with a question mark, so it should be read as approximate.
