Black-and-white photograph (a) of a group of eleven people in front of a door to a brick building. Several of the people are holding folders. The back of the photograph has a handwritten inscription on the back in black ink identifying the subjects in the image, but the photograph has been cropped and only part of the inscription is visible. The photograph is accompanied by a typewritten note that appears to have the same information as the handwritten inscription.
