Historic Hood River
“1940 Senior Girls”
9-22-2022
Notes
This is the Hood River High School senior class of 1940, with everyone identified. Recognize anyone? Certainly plenty of familiar family names.
None of them could imagine how their world would be turned upside down in just a year. I wonder how many of these women wound up in the military, how many in wartime factories, and how many forceably relocated to “camps”?

Yep, no ‘puppy dog tails’ allowed in this pic…..refreshing! Our kids sure do dress today very much different….., no expensive ‘holey’ pants here….all those long skirts, amazing……, such trends………we have.

There is a Ruth Irakiri in row 4 and row 5.

I assume there is a companion picture showing the boys in this same class of 1940? Does anyone know how long the practice of having separate male and female group class pictures existed?
