DescriptionThe exterior of the San Jose School at 2401 John Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A group of children are standing in front of a stone single-story school building with sandy dunes surrounding it. Wilfred Cobb, the youngest of the photographer's four children, is third from right and his sister, Daphne Cobb, third youngest, is standing fourth from right. Most of the boys wear overalls or knickerbockers with suspenders. Younger girls wear long sleeved, patterned dresses with collars and bows. A few of the teenage girls in the back of the group wear white dresses with high, lace neck collars and gigot puffed sleeves. The youngest of the boys sit in the dirt in the front row. The children have short, tousled hair.
