Formation of students on the northeastern end of the school grounds, near the enclosing fence with a farm in the distance. They are all male students in uniform, in rows with the band in the front. The location seems to be roughly where the athletic field was later laid out, to the east of the industrial workshops.

There are currently no known prints of this photograph.
