Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Linden and Walter stand on their hands while Herbert balances himself between them, standing with his feet on the backs of their necks while he holds their legs for balance. Photograph appears with the article, "Chino School 'Citizens' Will Welcome Alumni," Los Angeles Times, 25 Nov 1935: 10. It's the annual Thanksgiving Day homecoming at the California Junior Republic where the alumni will gather to celebrate with the 115 boys now gaining a vocational education here. There will be church services, a turkey dinner, and a football game. Text from negative sleeve: 4778 - Activities at California Junior Republic in Chino 4-7-36 [stamped:] Apr 14 1936 Text from newspaper caption: It's not all work by any means at the Junior Republic.
