This is a postcard dated May 31, 1913 depicting the first building of Edwardsville High School. Today the building is Columbus Elementary School in Edwardsville. It is addressed to Miss Sophie Schollenberg of St. Louis, MO. It reads: "(illegible) how are you? I have been wanting to write to you for a long time But we have been so busy cleaning house since I'm home. Just about finished now. Am looking for Emma and Anna Bien (illegible). Do you still like it in St. Louis? One of my girl friends worked at Richards. Love Emma"
