George Carl Pierce (1916-1989) always called Carl, and Beatrice Valara Pierce (1921-1993), always called Bea, pose for their 1930 Wilmer School photos.
Note Bea's eyeglasses. She had poor vision at an early age. But the glasses also show that her parents cared about her vision and took her for an eye exam. Both the glasses and the hairstyle appear fashionable.
The Pierce children may have been the offspring of a hard-working Wilmer farmer, but they weren't ragamuffins, even in the years of the Great Depression.
