Kentucky Color: Antioch School Picture

Click here for large photo

By Billy Joe Fudge

This is a picture I believe to have been taken around 1938. Mom (Zelma Stotts Fudge is right in the middle of the second row right behind the blonde boy kneeling and holding the sign. The sign actually seems to be a blackboard.

Do you see any of your family members or do you have a more accurate date? My Mother was born in '31 and guesses she was around 7 or 8 at the time.

I noticed,

there is chicken wire (poultry netting for the more refined) on the window and a couple of panes of broken glass,
there might be one pair of shoes in the crowd besides the teacher,
there is not one incident of juvenile obesity in the entire school which probably single-handedly debunks the genetic propensity theory,
and that dresses, short pants and bibbed overalls were very much in vogue.

These were kids growing up in the midst of the depression and as far as I can tell, lack didn't kill any of them.In fact, lack and difficulty may have honed their wit, genius and character to a razor's edge preparing them for their well deserved title as, "the greatest generation".
