[Dallas Firefighter Class 121 #2]

Portrait of the Dallas Fire classmembers from February 1964 to July 1964 posing in front of the wall in two rows. In this black and white photograph, there are eight members in two rows, each member is looking straight ahead, arms at their sides, and trying to smile but a few seem to squinting at the camera. Since this is a black and white photo I'm not fully sure the true color of the uniforms, but they are all dressed in uniform. The uniforms look a bit wrinkled with large buttons, a badge on the upper left chest, hat less, but with a clean cut on each person’s head. Has a light tan filter on the photo.
