1947 AP wire photo shows June Week color girl Miss Elva Faye Wills of Burbank, California, presenting colors at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, on June 5. She carries the brigade flag to the color guard of the 23rd Company, identified in the caption as the winning color company. The caption says she is escorted by the company's commander, her brother William E. Nylen. Midshipmen stand at attention beneath an American flag and a Brigade of Midshipmen flag. The caption is printed directly along the bottom of the 6¼ x 8⅞ inch photo. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. The image is soft and has a light, washed-out exposure, though the ceremony is visible. Yellowed tape remains at the corners. There is an AP stamp on the reverse.
