Yard party, 1959. Original caption from scrapbook:

"For publicity purposes -- Propaganda. 

For actual, live photographs see next page."

Original caption from the scrapbook:

     "September 26, 1959, twenty-three impatient girls waited for a shower 

to subside so they could begin the annual yard party. It finally stopped 

and they rushed onto the scene and soon became industriously engaged 

in beautifying the landscape of Whitehall.

     Various onlookers contributed advice and remarks (especially the male 

inhabitants of Brownlee), but unfortunately none offered to help in the 

actual labor. 

     After the work was done, dinner was served outside and a riotous 

hula hoop elimination was held. All in all, it was quite an afternoon."

Ca. 1959. Original scrapbook caption: “Whitehall co-eds joined in
 advertisement for the inter-co-op dance. They are, from left to right 
Linda Shuler (sitting), Marva Carter, Judy Willenborg (sitting), Claudia Laney, 
Mary Ester Bazaldua, and Martha Whitlow (the black eyes were real).”
