This was probably taken at Swope Park and it must be lunch time. The two buses in the background look like the buses that belonged to Glenn Ainsworth. The Ainsworth buses took us on many high school related trips. Glenn Ainsworth's son, Harley, was a member of the OHS Class of 1956.  Harley became a school bus contractor for Unified School District 290 Ottawa in 1992. </div> <bR> <div> <B>          Left to Right---------------------------------------------------</B></div> <div>           1.
