Black and white lantern slide showing a group of students from the Lamas Bible School (set up in 1939) and mission staff from the Peruvian Inland Mission. Female students wear smart white shirts, sometimes with a school tie, and male students wear smart shirts and trousers. Staff from the Peruvian Inland Mission make up the middle row of the group. The founder of the Peruvian Inland Mission, Annie Georgina Soper (1883-1979) sits in the centre. Miss Joan Mittaz, a nurse at the Lamas Hospital, sits on the far left. Next to her sits Miss Jessie Norton. Miss Mary Taverner sits next to Miss Soper, and Reverend Edward James Ball sits on the extreme right. This slide comes from a collection created by the Peruvian Inland Mission, an evangelical mission started in 1930 by Miss Annie G Soper in northeast Peru, which was administered by the evangelical interdenominational mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union from 1948.
