One day of the year that a photographer knows for sure he doesn't have to pose a picture is a day like June 20, 1958, the last day of school. Looking happy just comes naturally to the youngsters as they charge out of the classroom, toss books in the air and scream gleefully, Vacation time is here! These are second graders of Union Avenue School. Teacher Toshika Oda is lost in the stampede in the background.
