The photo, taken on 12 April 1917, had the following note on the back: This shows a picture of the crowd at the station bidding the boys good bye. I got these that they would show up plainer to you. They were different from the ones I got for I didn't get over town, was working and therefore couldn't. You can see by this that there was some crowd out. The note was written by E.A.Donlon.
The boys of the Waverly high school class of 1917 had all enlisted in the army or navy during WWI and left Waverly on April 12 before graduation. Several other photos in this collection were taken on the same day.
