EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment in Pie Town, New Mexico, back in 1940. The image showcases a group of school children joyfully singing together as part of their choir performance. Russell Lee, the talented creator behind this snapshot, perfectly encapsulates the innocence and enthusiasm radiating from these young performers. The scene is set against a backdrop adorned with various signs, including those for Craig Motor Co. , A Standard Oil product, and Magdalena Drug Co. These signs serve as subtle reminders of the era's industrial progress and commercial presence within small-town America. Dressed in their charming attire, both boys and girls can be seen wearing bib overalls or patterned dresses that were fashionable during the 1940s. The floral prints on some of the girls' dresses add an extra touch of charm to this nostalgic image. Lee's photograph not only highlights the beauty of childhood but also offers glimpses into American heritage art. This still image serves as a testament to how music unites people across generations and backgrounds. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this print transports viewers back to a simpler time when community gatherings like school performances brought joy to all who witnessed them. It stands as a reminder that even amidst challenging times such as World War II (as indicated by Office of War Information sponsorship), moments like these provided solace and hope for brighter days ahead.
