Confirmation
This class photo was taken in the early 1900's. Erwin Buelow - my Grandpa - is 2nd from right in the 2nd row.

Mom thinks this was taken at my Grandpa's Confirmation. But we're not sure. If anyone can say for sure what this photo is, or can identify anyone else in the photo, we'd really appreciate the assistance.
Date & Place: in Dubuque, Iowa United States

It does appear to be a confirmation. The girls are all dressed in white, the boys have white ties, which is the standard for a confirmation ceremony. The man in the middle is most likely the "Headmaster".
