One of my most recent acquisitions was this group of 10 Senior photos, from New Berlin, New York, each of which is stamped "Class of 1909" in the upper left corner. In the lower left is the mark "Talbot, New Berlin, NY."
The students are identified as:
Myra SHAWLER
Ethel SPRAGUE
Frances PECK
Edna MARTIN
Jessie HOLMES
Loren ANGELL
Flossie GAGE
Marjorie BANKS
Pearl MAFFIT or MOFFIT
Edith POPE
There were also four other photos of adults, in identical photo mats from the same photographic studio, of which I am certain two were teachers of the 1909 students. These are identified as Miss Mary CAMPBELL and Miss Clara TODD.
The remaining two adults are marked as an aunt and uncle, perhaps of one of the students in the photos. These are labeled Uncle Fred MATTESON and Aunt Chat MATTESON whom I have already determined is Charity MATTESON.

I think it best to tackle this group of related photos one at a time, in separate posts, as that will best aid whomever is looking for their specific ancestor/relative.
I also found (online) this image of an old postcard showing the High School, New Berlin, New York, 1909. I do not possess this postcard, and only show it here for additional information and interest.
Look for forthcoming posts on the individual students and teachers.
