DescriptionA school group stands in front of Hodgin Hall on the University of New Mexico's campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The building is brick and stone with a large, arched entry way with a darkly painted door. Young children stand in the front with teens and adults in the back. The boys wear wool suit jackets and hats of various styles, full length pants or wool knickerbockers with dark socks. Two teenage boys stand on either side of the group with bicycles. The young women mostly wear dark colored dresses with gigot puffed sleeves, high necks, and collars, frills, and lace around the neck. Their hair is pulled back and many have short cropped bangs. They also wear a variety of hat styles from sailor caps to high-crowned hats. Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
