Wasn't this just microbrewing and more?

More identities needed....Trempealeau, Wisconsin school

Looking for names of the students and teacher and also what year it was taken.  Any ideas, let a comment. 

Updated 7/29/2011 - Received the following info from Vivian Cowan Simerson, formerly from Trempealeau 

The young man sitting behind the girl in the white dress is my late uncle, Vincent Shrake. He graduated from high school in 1914, as valedictorian of his class. There were 6 students in the class. His parents were Henry and Margaret Drugan Shrake. The Drugans and the Shrakes were some of the early settlers to Trempealeau.

Grandma Bertrand ( Lena Mae Gooden) wrote the following account of her early years--------

" Lena Mae Gooden....I was born June 4,1896, near Galesville , Wisconsin , by the bank of the Black River . At three years old I lived near the Black River on a farm known as the McKelvey Farm. I used to run away to some people's place by the name of Larsons. There Grandma Larson gave me coffee with lumps of sugar, and she gave me some copper-toed shoes that were much too big. Gypsies used to stop at our place begging for food and hay for their horses. When I was five years old, I lived in Montana ( near Culbertson) for 6 months. I used to wash dishes and set the table. It was on a big ranch....19 cowboys. They wore big hats, chaps, and spurs. When we came back from there, I lived on a place near where I was born. I learned to dance the two-step when I was 6 years old. We moved from there to a farm near Trempealeau, where I went to my first school. When I was 9 years old we moved to a farm 12 miles from Winona , Minnesota . I always had to walk to school. I baked my first cake when I was 9 years old. We moved back to Trempealeau, and I went to school for a while, then we moved to the Nicholl's farm when I was 14 years old. I went to high school in Trempealeau. In my first year of high school, we moved to northern Wisconsin ....Harshaw, on Oneida Lake . In the spring of 1913 I went to Tomahawk High School . I worked for my room and board. Mother died July 18,1916, so I worked out of the home in the telephone offfice in Minocqua and at the Brown Lumber Company in Rhinelander. I was married Nov. 6,1918 to Miller A. Anderson of Chicago and we moved there.

Someone out there knows who these guys are...

We are hoping that someone knows the identities of the three young lads with the plaques in hand.  Please let us know if you can identify any or all of them.  Leave a comment.

 The following photo was taken in front of the Pigeon Falls State Bank.  We need help to identify the fellows in the picture also.  We would appreciate any help you can give us.  Thanks in advance!
