Several of these photos are "back to school" pix of Elwood J. and Betty.
Few have dates, so they might not be in chronological order.
Alice's younger sister Helen
Front: 1930
Back: "El & Betty"
No date; clearly at Lake Nelson
Back: "El & his 1st girl"
No date
Back: "El & Joe--sad sacks"
(I thought at first it said "red socks." I assume "sad sacks" is not the dog's name.)
Back: "1st day of school Bets and El"
No date
And now, with their coats
Back: "Betty & El"
Back: "Betty"
Back: "Betty and Elwood Smith 1932
Betty's First Day of School"
(This must be the following year. El is a few inches taller than Bets here.
In the back-to-school photos above, they were much closer in height.)

Back (in Elwood J.'s childhood handwriting):
"Elwood James Smith
Lake Nelson
Age 7"
(Most likely summer of 1933)
Nothing on back or front, but Elwood and Betty look a little older here--
maybe it's from 1935 or 1936?

Back: "Grandma Smith"
No date; mid-1930s is my guess based on the dresses and hat
