This black and white photograph features a team of ten college students being pulled into waist-deep water outdoors at Big Creek in Hays, Kansas, near Fort Hays State College, surrounded by trees. The ten men participating in the challenge wear various clothing, from athletic to leisure. A crowd of onlookers at the top of the hill/slope are wearing attire popular in the early 1960s. The onlookers include children, young adults, and adults. Some women are in dresses and knee-length overcoats. Some have bouffant hairdos. Two of the women have handbags. The men and boys wear their short hair combed to the side.
