Moment in Time (originally submitted to ThisWeek News for publication November 19, 2014)

This photograph, from the Esther Koch Evans collection, shows Grandview Heights elementary students dressed as Pilgrims and Indians standing in front of the Grandview Public School (former Edison Intermediate School) with their teacher, possibly in the 1920's. Several of the boys in the upper right are not wearing Thanksgiving costumes but rather World War I "Doughboy" uniforms. There are almost 40 students in this class and presumably just the one teacher. Esther's father owned Koch's Pharmacy in the Masonic Temple building located on the northwest corner of Grandview and First Avenues. Esther graduated from GHHS in 1933. Happy Thanksgiving from the Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff Historical Society.
