This black-and-white photograph shows eight-graders on their 1923 graduation day from the North Perry School, also known as the Linworth Grammar School.

The students' names are handwritten on the back as follows:

"Left to right -- Rhea Beard, Arnold Snouffer, Eva Fout, Robert Lowe, Isabelle Pendleton, Paul Smiley, Chloe Hall, John Shocker, Martha Wilcox, Hurd Bond, Irene Claar, Kate Grace."

According to historian Virginia McCormick in her book "Two Centuries of Educational History: Worthington, Ohio," the North Perry School/Linworth Grammar School was built in 1918, and was located at 2075 W. Dublin-Granville Road, the current site of the Linworth Experiential Program. As Perry Township never had a high school, students who graduated from the school entered the Worthington High School as tuition-paying students. In 1950, the school was consolidated with the Worthington School District, and continued to serve elementary school students through the 1970-71 school year.

The original is in a private collection.
