Forty-one Chicago school teachers died at the Iroquois Theater fire

The photo montage pictured above appeared across two pages in the School Journal magazine.  It featured roughly half the Chicago public school teachers who died at the Iroquois, involving thirty-two schools.  There were no class trips to the theater but it was one of the last available days during Christmas break and featured an old story from children's literature so attracted many teachers and students.
