[Costume Contest]

The majority of objects on the page are various female students in costume.

The first photograph on the left depicts a student dressed in a tutu as a ballet dancer would.

There is handwritten text beneath it that implies the student is dressed as a doll and the color is blue.

The photograph to the right depicts two students in costume, with the one further back with a bi-colored shirt and one who is sitting in front.

The photograph further right depict three females students in what appears to be a racially-mocking costume of blackface. The description below confirms this with "Pickaninnies" being handwritten.

The Photograph right below it depicts female students dressed as soldiers similar to nutcrackers, with one student in front appearing to leading the students.

The photograph at the bottom left depicts one student in a jack-in-a-box.

To the right of that photograph of the same student in the blue doll, but instead in front of a cardboard cut-out of a horse.

To the right of that is a student dressed in full dutch clothing with large alphabet blocks behind her.

Handwritten below each photograph is a description of the costume of each student, or the group they are in. Sequencing from left to right and then down is written; "Blue Doll," "Odd and Even Dolls," "Farind and Pickaninnies," "Tin Soldier Chorus," "Jumping Jacks," "Blue Doll," "Dutch Doll."
