7. Boyless Girls - 04 Jun 1915

They have a sign standing in front of them that reads, "BMG Boyless Girls June 4, 1915". Evidently they have started a little club for all the girls who work at the factory who are single.

8. Bunker Hill School - 1907

   Bunker Hill School - This is a photo that has been made into a postcard which was never sent. But on the front it says in blue ink, "Bunker Hill School Ethel Sutton Teacher 1907". On the back, in pencil, it identifies all of the students. It also repeats in pencil, "Ethel Sutton Teacher Bunker Hill School Dist. No 4, Wabash Twp.". "Edna" is written in the lower left hand corner on the back, so I'm assuming this postcard belonged to Edna Habeg...
