Title

Big Sisters Picnic, 1960

Description

Students sit on striped towels as picnic cloths on the Mundelein gymnasium floor, with glass Coca-Cola bottles and snacks. Students laugh and converse with each other in groups around these picnic cloths.
This photo appears in the student newspaper, The Skyscraper, on May 18, 1960 (page 8), with the following caption:
"JUST PLAIN FUN was had by all at the Freshmen-Big Sister picnic May 10. Gerry Komperda, freshman (center) especially enjoyed the picnic with her big sister Marge Ryan (far right) after winning the prize for having the most attractive box lunch. The picnic was held in the gymnasium because of rain, but that didn't dampen anyone's spirit."
