"Long Ago"

From Mildred Lindborg's photo album.

I am not sure why Mildred captioned this photo, "Long Ago" — it wasn't actually that long ago when she was assembling the album; no longer ago than, say, 1921 or '22. I suspect it has more to do with those headbands the girls have put over their foreheads. Perhaps they are pretending to be the Potawotami children who lived here "long ago."

Left to right: Gladys Lindborg (proving that she was, indeed, capable of smiling, at least a little bit), Norma Lindborg, June Bowman.

The structure behind them may be the frame part of the Lindborg business structure. We saw it earlier in the Graduation 1922 photo.
