The text on the back is written in three distinct handwriting styles and reads:
No one to talk to I am all by myself
Garfield School
Pasadena 1920
Written in pencil is number 27. 

Many children from Garfield School were sent to Junipero Serra - one of two Mexican Schools in Pasadena.


A couple of reflections on Garfield School can be found at:
