Submitter’s Note: It is possible that Patty Monroe and unknown Monroe are Patricia & Lynda Monroe, daughters of Leo and Winifred Monroe. Patricia would be 7 in this photo, and Lynda 2. I contacted Lynda Monroe (my husband’s aunt) to confirm, and while she could not confirm she did state that they lived on a farm near this school when she was a child.
