Gifts from appreciative staff, and possibly customers, to Ruth Wright and Vera and Mike Kenney, proprietors of the Saugatuck Soda Lounge. The lounge was a popular hangout for Saugatuck High School students. In a note from the photo's donor John E. Bedore of Appleton, Wisconsin, he describes himself and his sister Mrs. Kennelly as "5th generation Saugatuck history."
