Description

This studio portrait features Deborah Smith on her high school graduation day, wearing a white cap and gown instead of her school's official purple and white colors.

She is posed against a clean, neutral background, and smiling warmly. Her hair is styled down in a flip hairstyle, a popular look of the era, with some hair framing her face. The graduation cap sits neatly on her head, with the tassel hanging to the side.

The photograph is in condition, with some discoloration around the edges.
