Naomi Haren, Ginny, Loma Jones, and Gladys Bates in Car

Four girls, Naomi Haren, Ginny (last name unknown), Loma Jones, and Gladys Bates are pictured in what looks like a 1914 Dodge Touring car. In the background is a field with trees. Both Loma Jones and Gladys Bates were centers on the Denton High School girls basketball team from 1916-1917 and were also in Campfire Girls together. The girl in the drivers seat and the girl at the end of the car on the right are both holding noisemakers. We could presume that they were on their way to a celebration. Loma Jones was from Tampico, Mexico. Gladys Bates was from Denton, Texas. The back of the photograph has Naomi's last name misspelled. All three girls were friends.
