Belles of Elgin Open School Baths

It was a sunny day in Elgin when they opened the new school baths. Ten delicious beauties (one a male) poised on the edge and then took to the water. The resounding splash was heard for blocks around. The water level rose by several inches.

This unofficial display followed the formal opening at Elgin school of the newly-completed baths provided by members of the parent-teachers' association.
