Description
Members of the Pomona College class of 1899 gather at the corner of Pearsons Hall for a tree planting ceremony on Class Day. The students are standing in a line holding an ivy garland. The women are all dressed in white dresses with parasols. The men are wearing white pants, dark jackets, and straw hats. In the background a woman is poking her head out of one of the windows of Pearsons Hall. [Class Day was traditionally held as part of the commencement week ceremonies at Pomona College.]
