The guy in the middle back looks a bit like Leo DiCaprio to me.
Makes me a little sad...

I was told by my late mother that when I was born (1950) my grandmother gave her strict orders to make sure I always slept on my side to preclude the Dumbo syndrome that would be the result of sleeping on my back. Thanks to Granny I am often complimented on my well trained ears.

Woodberry Forest was (and is) a private prep school which sent many of its graduates to the University of Virginia. I have several UVa yearbooks from the 1910s which show a very active alumni group for Woodberry Forest.

Hey, shouldn't these guys be at work? No coal mines in Virginia? It's 1910. They're teenagers. How else they gonna build character?
Just wondering
