Heritage Photo: biscuit box school

This school picture dates back to 1924.  Perhaps someone can tell us where the school was located and why it was known locally  as the “Biscuit Box School.”  Maybe some reader can make corrections to the names of the students or the spelling of their names. We also hope someone can provide the missing first name for one of the Mask boys.
