Just look at the happy and smiling faces on these girls. Great change of pace from the somber Depression and wartime photos.

I hope this photo represents a kind of joy persistently available throughout the lives of these women.

So many of these pictures have a near solemn feel. Its nice to see a picture of these ladies enjoying themselves.

Founded in 1904 as a Methodist institution.
