Front Stella (Morlas) Trapani, Vivian (Morlas) Schoenfeld, Josephine (Morlas) McGuire, and Lucille (Morlas) Quinn. Only their sister Clothilde (Morlas) Bordes was missing. Since Clothilde had died in 1938, the photo was presumably taken after this date. It could very well have been taken at their 1951 reunion.
