I think it is by peacock pond as the chapel is in the background. I think they are in a gazibo (type) or sitting on a wall with the fence like slats behind them. I’m guessing by the dress, hair and type of stuffed animal it might be 1940-1955ish and collecting toys for children maybe Christmas or local hospital. No idea on the students.
Still friends after all this time. I recognize these two ladies, for whom I was class host at Reunion, 2009. On the left is Lucy Roesler Bollman ‘54. I am pretty certain that the girl on the right is Rosaline Ray Mather ‘54. In the picture that I am referencing below, they are sitting next to each other during the 140th Alumnae/i Celebration in the Chapel!
