To be honest, I have no indication that the name on that image had anything to do with creating the picture. I would lean towards it being the name of the owner of the photo - maybe a student.
Even back then, a photographer would have a more professional-looking stamp or something, but would not write his/her name and address in that manner.
You did bring to my attention the fact that I put the wrong backside image with this auction. It's the one for the 1916 HHS girls basketball team. The correct image is now there and has a lot more signatures there to go through.
It's even got "1966" and "1968" written on the top for some reason. Figure THAT one out!

Your Right .....Now that I can see the back of the right picture I can clearly see Marjorie Bogert Browne....who must be the owner of the photo...
As to your question....figure out why it says 1966 & 1968 and there are more signatures .....
It would be pure speculation on my part... but here goes.....
There are 60 people in the photo in 1918....
and I would guess that maybe in 1966 the 27 signatures on the back were 27 that showed up for a 48 year reunion....
or were 27 confirmed or thought to still be alive...
or names recorded by Ms. Margorie in 1966 of alumnus that might attend a 50 year reunion in 1968....
1968 would have been a 50 year reunion and I can see 2 years preperation going into a reunion of that many years.....
