There is a large stove with ornate metal work in a corner of the room behind the teacher, and a parlor organ along the rear wall, centered between two doors. Two sets of twins are seated on the right; they are Glen and Gilman Blomquist and Viola and Violet Jacobson. A clock on a shelf records the time: 9:35.
