This is the first school at Happy, KY, most of the students in this picture are Combs, but I don't know who they are, the only one I know is my mother, Goldie Combs she is the girl in the white dress with her hair laying to the side on one shoulder. The man in front is a teacher, it looks like it maybe Black Bob. This picture was taken between 1933 and 1941.
