This is the 1902 senior picture for Onawa High School. The beautiful young lady in the back row on the far left is my grandmother, Ethel Charlotta Burrell. I do not know any of the other young people in the picture and I am hoping some one will recognize their ancestor and contact me. Contributed by: Coke Helmstetter
