Taken on the stage of the Washington School, this was the highly popular Teeny-Weeny Band in 1933. Note the wide range of instruments, including accordions, piano, violins, clarinets, harmonicas, xylophones, guitars, and percussion instruments, to name a few.
Pictured is the Washington School in the spring of 1923, along with horse-drawn school buses and four motorized school vehicles. The students were transported by horse-drawn school buses, but motorized vehicles were beginning to come into use during this era.
This is a photograph of school transportation vehicles and the Washington School. The second truck from the right side is Matt Pykkonen's panel truck, which was one of three motorized vehicles used to bus students. The three trucks were privately owned. There are seven horse-drawn school buses and three motorized vehicles, several of which appear to have students in them. The horses were also privately owned, but the horse-drawn wagons were owned by the school district. The Washington School was quite new in this photo, having been built in 1921. It housed grades 1 through 6.

The ground was cleared of glacial rock deposits near the water tower and two blocks further west. The area was tightly packed with glacial deposits of huge granite boulders. Horse-drawn sleds, or ôstone boatsö were used to haul away the boulders, later used to construct the wall, the amphitheater, the field house, and the castle. The houses in the photo were moved into town.
