Friday's Photo: Teachers in Bienville Parish

This is another photo from the collection of Marguerite Cook Clark.  

On the back in very tiny letters is written, Miss Martin. Also written on the back is James A. Shelby and Virgie Martin. 

Virgie Martin was a teacher in Bienville Parish in 1940 and James A. Shelby was the superintendent of the Bienville Parish schools. 

I am assuming all in the photo are teachers in Bienville Parish. Virgie Martin married Euel Walker in 1933. I would guess the photo was taken during the late 1920s or before Virgie's marriage in 1933. 

Do you recognize any of the teachers in this photo?
