Identifications are by Mary Cain, supplemented by identifications by Willis Pyle. The spellings are mostly Mary's and may be slightly off in a few cases; I'll fix any errors as correct spellings surface. Likewise, some of the job titles are undoubtedly not quite right for 1948—someone who was later an animator may have been an assistant then—but I've tried to identify as many people as possible in the capacities for which they're best known. In some cases, I don't know which job a person filled; a number of the women in the photo presumably worked in ink and paint, but I can't say that for certain about anyone in particular. I'll make adjustments as more information turns up.
