The following young ladies are identified from left to right: Bonnie Fondren, Frances Perkins, skip one, Ruby Gable, skip one, Alice Lodsdon (with 'x' on arm), and Florence Forster (seen with the line drawn on her head). Note that some names have corrected spelling. According to the July 10, 1925 Fairhope Courier, "For the revue a substantial elevated walk some fifty feet long had been built out over the mouth of the gully (cataloger note" Stack's Gully) just south of the wharf warehouse, which brought the beauties up where they could be seen by the gathered throngs and with seats for the judges where they could do their pleasing duty at ease."
