Photograph of two local Sisters standing in the midst of construction work on the Maryknoll Sisters convent. Behind the Sisters a man is laying bricks for an archway. Poem written on back of photo reads "Two little sisters in black and white - They're feeling rather blue Because their pals from Maryknoll Are really overdue. So hurry up - and make 'em smile Forget your trunks, and come! Catch a freight car, sail awhile And soon you'll be 'to home' @ MK in Korea."
