Eastern High School, one of Washington's public high schools, is the setting for this glass negative, which the record associates with a student club called the Good Fellows. The catalog notes that this title comes from unverified data on the negative sleeve, so the club's details are best treated as provisional. The National Photo Company, which worked in the capital in the late 1910s and early 1920s, made large numbers of plates covering schools, government buildings and everyday city life. Glass negatives of this age often show streaks and clouding where the original coating has broken down, and this one may show similar wear.
