Miss Nickel Plate and Myself
(WWI-Era Photo Album)

There are no notes to identify the photos on page 25 of the album, but they look very much like the South Bend District Convention we just saw.

And surely, the grinning young woman second from the right in the front row is Miss Nickel Plate.

I believe the building behind them is Methodist parsonage on Fourth Street. Far in the background on the right is the high school.

The second photo on this page shows another group. I believe the guy on the left in the front row of this group is "Myself," the owner of the photo album. Thus far we've only seen rather poor pictures of him, but he does have that characteristic way of half-smiling and looking down.

This same guy was in the first of the South Bend District Convention photos (linked to above), but I didn't recognize him at first, without his camera and downcast eyes.

Myself and friends, 25b

The way that young man is clowning around with his hat and the woman next to him — maybe that's what led up to the hat-borrowing picture in the previous set.

I think that's the high school behind them.
