Castana School Photos

These photos with identification were submitted by Kim (Larsen) Hunter. Kim wrote, "My grandma Alice (Jensen) Larsen who lived in rural Castana most of her life had some wonderful pictures of the rural school she went to. She also was wonderful at keeping a journal of her family and life. I attached her story of going to school (this is in her own handwriting) and the pictures she had in her photo album. She was great about writing names and dates on her photos. Grandma Alice's sister is Iva Jensen and her brother is Maurice Jensen in the pictures. I have pictures of the old Castana High School, too." [Kim's Grandma was a Castana HS Class of 1925 graduate.]
