Did you know that July is National Picnic Month? This photograph shows a group of friends on a picnic near Whiteface around 1905. Most of these students were among the first classes of students at the first Saranac Lake High School, including Blanche Smith (second from left in front), and William “Bill” Distin (far right). Get outside with a blanket and enjoy the fun! (Photo provided — Historic Saranac Lake Collection, 2009.2.10.16. Gift of W. Dean Carrier in memory of John Dean Carrier.)
