Several school photographs from Ravenwood Elementary in North Kansas City School District and Chrisman High School in Independence, Missouri have the names of those in the group photographs identified. One folder contains memorabilia from Chrisman High School such as a school pennant, student council campaign signs, and a school newspaper.
