Can a viewer help us out with the identifications? The year book didn't list members by row. Here's the information from the yearbook:

We assume standing from left:
S.D. Peper, Rev. Lee Moore, vice-president, Ear Huber, president, Dr. C.H. Freeman.

We assume seated from left:
C.C. Roberson, Charles Hubbell, Dr. Floyd Elliiott, Earl Detrick, clerk.

Or, is it the other way around?
