We thought at first that these boys might have dressed up for Halloween, but there’s something dramatic about their arrangement. They seem to be re-enacting a shotgun wedding.

Could this have been a skit performed for their fellow classmates?

We know the photo, which came from the Observer-Reporter’s Chartiers Valley office in Canonsburg, was taken in the late 1960s or early 1970s. But we don’t know where it was made, who the boys are or what school they attended. We hope our readers can help us with identification.

The photo appears to have been taken in an auditorium, judging from the rows of seats.

If you think you recognize these young thespians, or can tell us where and when the picture was taken, email Park Burroughs, retired executive editor, at pburroughs@observer-reporter.com, or call and leave a message for him along with your telephone number at 724-222-2200, extension 2400. With a little luck and help from our readers, we may be able to solve this puzzle and publish our findings later.
