Glass Slides of Huron College - Athletics

 Miss Louise French, a teacher of Latin and Fine Art at Huron College (Huron, South Dakota) for 25 years was also a photographer and specialized in making Lantern slides.  These slides are positive photographic images put onto a piece of glass and covered by a second piece of glass, bound on all sides with black paper tape. 

In past blogposts I have featured her photography from her many travels.  The following posts will be dedicated solely to her slides from Huron College and a few from Huron, which I have been able to date from 1928 to 1930.  

Three Huron College athletes were identified - Wayne Nelson, Class of  1930, from Onida, South Dakota; James Charr, Class of 1930, from Yenha, Sineju, Korea; and Eddie Han, Class of 1931, from Wahiawa, Hawaii.
