The photo with the numbers on it came from the website mentioned on the photo.
The original photo comes from Ray Franz, "in Search of Christian Freedom" - I'll dig into the book to see if he mentions who is in the photo.

The book only mentions Rutherford's place at the dinner.
There are some other annotations on the internet, but they only place Rutherford (some incorrectly).
My guess is that Ms Boyd would be very near Rutherford.
Does anyone know why the story of the Grinch stealing Christmas doesn't seem to appear in the Watchtowers of that time ?

The real reason they stopped Christmas is it cost the society extra money every year for the event...
Money better spent in the world wide work.
Also notice how happy everyone is in this picture....fun place to be in the bible house.

That same photo can be found in the Proclaimer's book, page 200. Perhaps someone can enlarge the photos of those numbered so we can better see who they are. Henschel is definitely not in the picture since he didn't come to Brooklyn until 1934, when his father came to work for the Watchtower Society, according to Wikipedia.
