A blurry photograph of Roy Forsythe and Joe Pike standing with other Rubber Men's Picnic attendees as they gather around to look at something. Joe Pike stands at center and faces towards the camera. He wears a vest and casts his gaze downwards. Roy Forsythe stands second from left. He laughs while facing towards the right and looking in the same direction as Joe Pike. A man (partial view) stands along the left edge of the image with his back to the camera; he partially obscures Roy. Another man stands between and slightly behind Roy and Joe. Three other men stand huddled in the foreground at right. A man in a vest has his back to the camera. The man at right faces towards the left and a third man stands behind the two in front.
