8 people on diving board at Frasers Road baths, one extra, just a head, below board.
Top row: Sid Mowat, ? Callender, Stan Roger, Doug Mowat.
Sitting: Kerr Sonntag, Bill Simpson, Neville Mowat, Donaldson?

Comments:
Person 'Callender' may be Jack Callander ZL4BT (an amateur radio operator). Looks quite like him, lived at 124 Richardson Street, St Kilda in the early 1930s. Jack was licensed in 1930 and later moved to North Island.
Stan Rodger was Labour MP for Dunedin North from 1978 to 1990 and held a number of cabinet posts.
Mowat brothers were to later take over Mowat Contracting in Glenross Street, Kaikorai.
