Simmons School Nov. 10, 1914. The boy on the
far
left is my father, Raymond Carl Herner (b. Nov. 6, 1904, d. Dec. 10,
1984). I think the third boy from the left in the back row is one of
his
brothers, Earl Herner, but I'm not positive about that.

Greenfield basketball team of 1924-1925.
My
father
writes about them in a book of memoirs he wrote for my sisters and I.
They were called the Greenfield Night Hawks. Apparently every
crossroads
community had a basketball team and this team played mostly at the Peru
Community House, but did their practicing in the Herner barn. The
players are labeled on the back, but part of the writing is cut off.
Left to right:
Clarence "Cocky" Herner
Wray "Dutch" Aumend
Alfred "Al" Schaechterle
Floyd "Bish" Bishop
Earl "Stub" Herner
