Digital Commonwealth — Perkins School for the Blind
Parade of Rakes, 1943
1943
Sixteen boys wearing neckties walk down a path two by two carrying rakes slung over their shoulders pointing in the air. Leafless trees in the background. Due to a staff shortage during WWII Pupils and faculty members took up rakes, shovels, brooms, and other equipment and completely cleaned the entire grounds. The pupils displayed a fine spirit in matching the willingness of employees in the operating departments in taking additional duties for the benefit of the school (from the Perkins' 1943 Annual Report).
