EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in time, showcasing the rebellious spirit of ten school children in East Alton, Illinois. On that fateful summer day of August 13,1971, these mischievous youngsters found themselves caught in the act of breaking windows at their own school. However, what sets this scene apart is the fact that they had permission to do so. The school building was destined to be torn down, and these children were given a rare opportunity to unleash their playful vandalism. The image portrays a mix of excitement and mischief as the children gleefully throw objects through the glass panes. Their youthful energy radiates from every corner of this historic photograph. With ages ranging from 11 to 15 years old, these Caucasian boys and girls represent an era when such innocent acts were seen as part of growing up. Taken during daytime amidst a typical American summer backdrop, this vintage snapshot showcases not only the joyous chaos but also hints at a bygone era where rules could be bent for some harmless fun. As we gaze upon this horizontal composition frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how childhood memories can sometimes be etched into history itself – even if it involves breaking windows!
