Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated July 14, 1964 reads "Summer really arrived in the Valley Sunday and Darien Draine, 14-month-old baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Draine, proved it by taking her first plunge into the swimming pool. Just to be certain she'd be safe, brother Darby, six years old, played lifeguard. Before she made the plunge Darby 'baptized' her by spilling water over her tousled head to get her ready for this delightful and daring step."
