Two Photographs for Olive

These portraits are likely from the Spring or early Summer of 1945, after World War II had ended in Europe but was still raging in the Pacific. Without any dates except Mary's instruction to "Remember June 1945,"  these matching folios contain  brief sentiments of two young women who both have a friend named Olive.

I can only assume that these wonderful portraits were given as a gift or exchanged upon graduation, and I am left with a feeling of disappointment that I'll never see a portrait of Olive herself.
