[Dallas Firefighter Class 135 #2]

Portrait of the Dallas Fire classmembers from May 1968 to August 1968 posing inside a building in front of a wall in two rows. In this black and white photograph, there are fifteen members in the two rows, each member is looking straight ahead, hands together in front of them, and none of them are smiling. Just neutral faces from front row to back row. In the front row a young man is holding a chalk board, that has the date and number of the group. Since this is a black and white photo I'm not fully sure the true color of the uniforms, but they are all dressed from head to toe. Shined shoes, neatly ironed uniforms with large buttons, a badge on the upper left chest and a hat to match. Also, this image has a light tan filter on it.
