Description

Black and white photograph of a group of men and women in front of Willison Hall at the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary of Canada. They are members of a Summer School for Church Workers indoor baseball team. There is a trophy, bat and ball and hat on the ground in front of the women.

Notes

Summer School for Church Workers was started by the Canada Synod of the United Lutheran Church in America in 1919. The three day convention allowed church members to attend lectures on Church work and participate in social activities. The event was held annually at the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary of Canada in Waterloo, Ontario.

Inscriptions

In ink, reverse: This is the summer school both teams of the indoor baseball. You will know quite a number on here and I don't think I'll need to point our myself either. See the silver cup right in front. Some of these players are from Hamilton, Preston, Kitch, etc. [Name removed] seems to be rather smitten on the girl second to the end on your right handside. She's from Spingfield Ohio. She's a niece of Zines or cousin or some relation.
