Description

The three young women wear skirts and blouses with nylons and low-heeled shoes. Shirley has added a suit jacket and unbuttoned coat. Their hair falls to their shoulders in soft waves and is parted on the side. The two young men wear slacks, shirts open at the neck, sport coats, and loafers.The five students stand informally in the snapshot foreground before a grove of pine trees--perhaps the famous Bowdoin Pines?
