One sepia-toned photograph (and one copy) of the Confirmation Class of 1927 at St. James Lutheran Church in Detroit. The photo shows three rows of older girls and boys who are seated or standing. Each is holding a Bible along with a certificate that is rolled up and tied with a ribbon or cord. The girls are all wearing white dresses and the boys are wearing dark-colored suits. The pastor, Rev. August G. Bergener, is wearing a clerical robe and is seated at the front center of the photo. A painted backdrop is visible in the background. Several persons in the photo are identified on a separate handwritten note as follows:
back row, third from left - Winifred Schroeder; fourth from left - Geraldine ?.
middle row, second from left - Melburn Voss; fourth from left - Carl Row.
front row, third from left - Gertrude Ronschke; far right - Florence Scholbe
