Bill Tobin sent this picture taken in 1950 at a Nursery School called Mrs.  Saul's.  Bill grew up in Belmont Shore and presumably many of these kids went on to Lowell, Rogers and Wilson.  With several detectives offering up clues (a huge thanks to Judy Wilson Jones for filling in a LOT of blanks) we think that those pictured are ...
 

Front row – Cynthia Geizer (NOT Connie Kaylor Judy insists), Unknown, Unknown, Nancy Nutter, Pam Rose, Ed Perry, Unknown

 

2nd row – Craig Daugherty, Tom Morlock, “JP” John Crosby, Marsha Harris, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown

 

3rd row:  Terry Thorpe, Unknown, Unknown, Ed Bragg, Bill Murphy, Valerie Boyer, Susie Davidson

 

4th row:  Unknown, Lee Faries, unknown, unknown, Judy Wilson, unknown, Bill Tobin

Update - this just in!  Lee Faries Ostendorf has identified that cutie 2nd from left, back row - as Lee Faries.  She remembers that Mrs. Saul's institution of lower learning was called the Peppermint Playhouse - Life was simpler then - and said  "There were a lot of wiggle worms and strange expressions in that picture.  Judy's was one of the best."  (Webmistress Note - I think had I been Mrs. Saul, I would have not messed with Judy Wilson.)

Once again Don Singleton is brave enough to guess - he says:
 
Remember, I didn't arrive on the Lowell scene until Jr. 1st grade, so some of these are "pure" guesses.
