Little Falls High School, Class of 1941

Ancestry.com has provided many good leads and photos to spice-up the blog, don't you think?  Here's another gem that really, only Morrison Co descendants would recognize or cherish.  That means it belongs here, even tho there's only one kid who was born a Hesch (and one lucky girl who became a Hesch) in the pic.  Still, many of the names are familiar from Pierz, Buckman and Royalton, and quite a few of those families have been mentioned here on HH.  

I assume the photo will en-biggen if you click it, but if that's not big enough, right-click it and "save as" (give it a name) and view it on your picture viewing program.  Actually, Paint works pretty well, too.

Here's the list of names that was posted with the pic:
