In unrelated news, the Roper Bros. in Hobart suggest you buy a one-ton truck chassis and build your own truck.

Sarah Read's return to the Nolte farm in late October did not last long. She became ill again sometime in November, I gather, and had to go back to the home of her nephew, Benjamin Packham, in Hobart ("Local Drifts," Hobart Gazette 2 Dec. 1921). She spent most of December 1921 convalescing there, and not until after the New Year was she able to leave the house — only to go to downtown Hobart, though; not to the farm ("Local Drifts," Hobart Gazette 13 Jan. 1922).

These young people graduated from Hobart Township High School before there was a yearbook.

As far as identifying them, I can only transcribe what's written on the back:

Ruth Bullock Mackey's graduation

Vieva Scoffern
Dwight Mackey
Arthur Carnduff
Esther Nelson Williams
Philip Roper
Elvira Larson Ewing
Ruth Bullock Mackey
Teacher or principal?

*Update: a reader tells me this should probably be Ewen, not Ewing, and the census/marriage records seem to confirm that correction.
