October 1943. Washington, D.C. "Walter Spangenberg, captain in the Woodrow Wilson High School Cadet Corps, at the school's Regimental Ball." Medium-format negative by Esther Bubley, Office of War Information. View full size.
She's all starry-eyed. I would be, too, if that handsome fellow danced with me.
The girl to the left looks like she wishes that she was dancing with Walter; and the guy on the right looks like he wishes that he WAS Walter.
Who cares about the guy in the uniform - who is the gal?
He looks old enough to fly a B-24, oh wait, he probably did about six months later.
His date looks a lot like a certain Miss Norma Jean Baker.
Wow, Walter was quite handsome!
Love having a link to one of the vintage Shorpy Photo Stars.
Nice tribute to one of our 'Greatest Generation'.
