Newly-arrived WAVES recruits pose for a group portrait at the Navy WAVES training school at Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls, Iowa, before the arrival of their uniforms in January 1943. Shirley Feldstein (Bell) is 3rd from right in the front row, with a white name tag visible on her coat. She comments, on the reverse of the original print: “We all look like penguins ready for a slide in the snow.” Donation of Shirley Feldstein Bell.
