The other girl stands facing to the right at the far right and wears a swimming cap, tank-top, belt, and shorts. She has her left arm down and splashes the water out of the pool with her right hand. Across the background is a fence, a field, trees, and a hill. On the center of the back is a bear-shaped stamp with, "GENUINE KRYSTAL GLOSS / GUARANTEED FOREVER / JUL 19 1930 / BEAR PHOTO SERVICE." At the top left corner is a stap with the number, "350." The photograph was housed in Agnes Temple's album which is item 96.7.94.1 along with many other photographs which span 96.7.1.1-.93.1.
