Some people are wearing ribbons on their jackets. Title transcribed from negative. Date range approximated by cataloger based on the year that film negatives came into use and the latest known dates indicated for other Hazard images in the Huntington's collection. James Miller Guinn came to California in 1863 and was made superintendent of L.A. City Schools in 1881. (Source: "Sixty Years in Southern California, 1853-1913, Containing the Reminiscences of Harris Newmark," The Knickerbocker Press, 1926.)
