 This is a class of 1905 graduation photo from the Shelton Avenue Grammar School in New Haven Connecticut. The school was located at the corner of Shelton Avenue and Division Street. Every pupil was identified on the back of the photo and luckily I found a newspaper article about the graduation that corroborated all of the names. The article helped my research by adding middle names to many of the pupils (The Morning Journal-Courier, New Haven Connecticut, 20 June 1905, page 3).
