Group posing on top of a Hicks National Safety School Bus

Date: ca. 1940s
Negative Number HP.2015.04.01

We suspect (but don’t know for sure) that this is a promotional photo from the bus company (demonstrating the strength of the roof design, possibly taken in Indiana). This print was saved by the NM Department of Education, who probably bought or considered buying Hicks busses before WWII.
