Up for auction is a vintage 1962 Willamstown High School Class photograph taken in front of the US Capitol Building in Washington DC.

It’s 1962: President John F Kennedy, Cuban Missile Crisis, death of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley is making movies, the Rolling Stones form their rock band (2 years after the Beatles), Bob Dylan, Bubble haircuts !
The girls are dressed in 1962 style (conservative, restrained), two piece skirt suits, pearl necklaces, gloves …one girl is even wearing a (Jackie Kennedy) Pill Hat ! Skirts fall just below the knees but not for long – miniskirts, hotpants, boots and fishnet stockings soon to follow !
Condition: Very good. One small half inch tear on the lower right bottom. Had been mounted in a frame and has some clear tape remnants on the back at the corners.
A wonderful photograph for the year 1962.
