- Physical Details: <p>Faded photograph mounted on board - board printed with decorative frame. Board was trimmed at some point, cutting off the edges of the printing. Crop marks and notes written around the edges in pencil.</p>
- Verso: <p>The back of the photograph has two layers of writing. The board itself is covered with signatures hand written in ink. The edges of this writing has been cropped, so some names and details are only partially readable. A piece of paper has been tipped on to the top edge of the board and has the names of the students in the picture written in ink. The form years have been added in pencil. The circled number 4½ is written in pencil in the upper left corner.</p>
