This photograph features Miss Edythe Turner’s third-grade class from Onaway School, who are dressed as Shakers for a play they presented. Teachers Miss Edythe Turner and Pearl Lee Stark led this project by gathering artifacts and promoting its popularity in the classroom. Their dedication ultimately resulted in the incorporation of this project into the permanent curriculum for future third-grade classes. In the photograph, the boys and girls are positioned on opposite sides of the room, reflecting the beliefs and practices of the Shaker community, which included the separation of the sexes. | Date: 1938 | Source: Elizabeth B.
