The Alexander School in Jackson, TN, was found in 1909 [1]. Thanks to Anthony Cresap, we are pleased to share this 1922 class photo. Anthony’s grandfather, Warren Willis, was a student there. Click on the photo to enlarge.
The back of the photo contains a list of student names. Best as we can determine (may not be perfect), the transcription of names appears below (one of the boys appears to be unamed?):

Looking at the picture and the list of names, it appears that they are listed in order from top left to right (not including the teacher’s name), then 2nd row left to right and finally front row left to right.
Thanks Lisa!
