“Last Friday Miss Hildur Hoaglund closed the Brush Creek school with the pupils enjoying a picnic at Hollywood. Miss Hoaglund has had a very successful school year,” reported The Aspen Times on May 18, 1928. Later that evening, a “big good-time dance” was held at the schoolhouse. Pictured is a group outside in the school yard in May of 1928; the women are dressed up in their 1920s finery while a few of the men lounge against the fence.
