A Japanese Class Photo

 

I don't do it often because shipping has a tendency to be expensive, but from time to time, I go on eBay and purchase photos from overseas.  So, is this a Japanese class photo or the staff of the local building supply store?  I'm betting it's a class photo with the older-looking men as faculty, and the younger-looking guys, the students. Anyway, I don't speak or read Japanese, so the caption that's on the back may tell the real story, and for anyone who can translate, do me a favor and leave one in comments.
