by Congress in 1942. At the time these chalkboard writings were created, the pledge was only informally adopted by schools on a local level. It's quite possible that the teacher (or student) who wrote it down took some artistic license with "my head, my heart and my life to my God.."

There was no "officially recognized" version of the pledge at the time this was written (1917).
