A Big Hug (WWI-Era Photo Album)

Unidentified, but surely this is still the Epworth League Convention in Hobart, June 1918. And behind them, the high school.

I'm looking at the young woman on the right and wondering if she could possibly be Dalia Messick — that smile! But Dalia was only about 12 years old in 1918, too young to join the Epworth League — not that a bright and sociable 12-year-old would necessarily be chased away if she started hanging around with the conventioneers. But I'm not sure the girl in the photo looks as young as 12. That smile notwithstanding.

On the same page, once again, Miss Nickel Plate, and how I wish I knew who she was!
