Who is in this photograph?
These pages from Virginia Intermont's annuals and yearbooks print the names of many of the people in their photographs, though rarely in a way that says which face is whose. A face detector has drawn a box where it thinks each face is. It only suggests; it misses faces and sometimes boxes a collar or a fold of cloth. Readers who know these people, whether alumnae, families, or local historians, can place each name on a face and say how sure they are.

How this page works
No face recognition
The detector looks for the shape of a face. It does not compare faces or try to say who anyone is. That judgment belongs to the people who knew them, and to the school or library.
The page outranks the algorithm
Every name here was printed on the page in the year the book came out. Where the scanned text was garbled, the name was read from the scan itself, and the list marks it as repaired.
Names stay beside the picture
A name is pointed at a face only when the caption says exactly where that person stands, as a caption reading "left to right" along a single row does. A caption that says "Back row" without saying which way to read it is left for a reader to place.
How sure, not just who
Each name a reader places carries a level of confidence, from "fairly sure" to "certain", so the school or library can weigh one guess against a classmate who was in the room.
