1916 Class photo David Gayley offered the identification in a
newspaper clipping some years ago, This is the article caption: 
The original photograph studied under a magnifying glass turn up some
interesting insights. Particularly, all of the cloths are probably home made and
maybe even some of the shoes. Most of the girls are wearing high-button shoes
while the boys have shoes that lace or buckled. The one teacher was princenez,
not seen anymore. (I do not know what that means) One of the McLaughlin girls
has a flannel cloth around her neck, a standard home remedy in those years. She
and her sister have identical dresses, probably made from the same bolt of
cloth. The young people are not arranged in neat rows so identification is
rather difficult but the
