A black and white image of a group of six African American women sitting on the back of a convertible. In the background behind them can be seen large trees, and the brick edifice of White Hall. Two girls can be seen talking to each other. The women sitting on the car are identified as the homecoming court. They are all wearing hats and varieties of dress suits. Five of the women are wearing carnation corsages, and the girl in the middle is holding a bouquet of flowers, indicating that she is the campus queen.
