Full title:Although this is only their second day at school, the Okazaki twins, Sazami (left) and Toshiko (right) take to kindergarten classes as if it is an old story with them. Here they are avidly interested in a picture book which is being shown them by their teacher. Looking on are two of their boy classmates, while at the far left one of the kindergarten girls is playing a game. The classroom is replete with blackboards, picture books, sandboxes, and games of all sorts. The Okazakis have lived in Illinois for more than six months, having relocated from the Rohwer Relocation Center to McHenry, Illinois, where they help manage the A. J. Krecker farm. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. McHenry, Illinois.
