Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A very similar picture appears with "Bridge Party to Benefit Maryknoll Fathers' Missionary Work Scheduled," Los Angeles Times, 14 Apr 1935: B5. The two pictures were taken a year apart in the same house, with one of the same girls. The girls are all students of Marymount High School, an all-girls Catholic high school. Eight young women stand on a wooden staircase in somebody's home. A sofa is at the base of the stairs. Left to right: Mary Jane Cirese, Patricia Kelly, Esther Baden, Isabel Fawcett, Gloria Bergin, Mary Ryan, Peggy Rauen, Marilyn Mogan. A different photograph taken on the same occasion with some of the same women appears in "Subdebs to Assist at Jubilee Benefit," Los Angeles Times, 05 Apr 1936: C4. Text accompanying the 1936 related photograph in the newspaper: Among the subdebs who will assist at the jubilee bridge-tea to be given April 1[8?] in the Biltmore Ballroom, to benefit the Maryknoll Mission Fathers, is a group of Marymount pupils who met this week at the home of Mrs. Ralph Huesman to complete their plans. The group included Misses Carol Huesman, left, Margaret Franco, Gloria Bergin, Mary Franco, Patricia Kelly, Marilyn Mogan, and Mary Lamon. Text from negative sleeve: 4615 L to R-- Mary Jane Cirese, Patricia Kelly, Esther Baden, Isabel Fawcett, Gloria Bergin, Mary Ryan, Peggy Rauen, Marilyn Mogan; Society 4-1-36 [stamped:] Apr 9 1936
