Winter 1935-36

This winter image looks east across the Palmer Community Center quad with a two-horse team pulling a sleigh with people aboard toward the camera in foreground. Two dogs and a boy are apparent near the sleigh. The new school building is visible in middle ground appearing to have the exterior construction largely complete but with scaffolding still in place. A man is visible standing at the peak of the school roof. At extreme left the gymnasium is partially visible through a cluster of trees. A small shed stands next to the trees. Two spruce trees and a lone birch tree stand isolated near the center of the quad with heavy forest in background beyond. The "Teacher's Dorm" building is partially visible at extreme right with heavy forest behind in middle ground. Snow-covered mountains dominate the background, looming over the view.
