"That Old Slide"

From Mildred Lindborg's photo album.

Mildred gave us no further information, but the album's owner thinks this may have been behind the W.G. Haan School — and, really, where else would you find such a nice slide, in the early 1920s, in a god-forsaken place like Ainsworth?

The children are not identified. If I had to guess, I'd say the kids at the bottom of the slide are Gladys and Raymond Lindborg. The girl at the top may be Norma Lindborg, but I say that because you'd expect to find the siblings together, not because I can recognize her in this picture.
