"1943 School Children" from the National Library of Congress on flickr.
HT: Justin Thorp
I found this photograph on flickr's growing collection of vintage photographs from the Library of Congress.
This photograph screams nostalgia and is even somewhat reminiscent of a Rockwell painting.
Being somewhat new to Arizona, I was surprised to see that many schools are back in operation today. In Michigan, where we came from, generally speaking, the schools would start back around Labor Day.
I found myself wondering what was chiefly in these children's minds as they entered their first day of school as compared to what today's "post-modern" children might face.
Any thoughts?
