![Daniel Morrison [?] and George Warren, c.1894](/sites/default/files/styles/views_image/public/image-photo/CCHS_PA-CH3_038f.jpg?itok=lCnG4ui0 "Daniel Morrison [?] and George Warren, c.1894")
Studio portrait of two male students.
The caption for this photo was written at a later date in ink. This caption identifies them as "H. Morrison and George Warren." There are no records for a student with that last name of Morrison with a first name starting with H. Based on comparison with other photographs we believe he is Daniel Morrison. The student on right does appear to be student George Warren.
