On November 20, 1920, the student body of the Gilbert Consolidated School and the horses and drivers of the school's buses posed next to their new building, which opened in 1918, for this panoramic photograph taken by the Habard-Showers Co. of Des Moines, Iowa. The consolidated district was created in 1917-18. In the far left of the picture is the Gilbert Independent School, the original Gilbert school used before Gilbert's consolidation with surrounding communities. V. A. Helfanstein is listed on the photograph as being the superintendent. See 51.254.3-5, 51.255.1-4, and 99.537.1-3 for other versions of this panorama.
