Information from Nathan K. Carpenter:

This is a transcription of a 3" x5" class roster-card, which was among old photos held by my grandmother, Bess A. (DOTTS) CARPENTER [1904-1996]. Bess was a niece of Ralph [1871-1918] and Nellie KLOCK [1865-1932]. Nellie, who never married, taught in Scott township schools for many years around the turn of the century, as did her sister Ruth [1875-1958], Bess' mother, prior to marrying William E. DOTTS [1875-1946] in 1898.  The HARDY, ELLIOTT, and WOLFE children are likely cousins of some degree to my grandmother, although I currently haven't traced it out (I would be interested in further information on them!).

It appears that the children may be listed in rough order of age, judging by the placement of Ralph and Nellie.
