“50 Years of LIFE… DRESS style Changes”

Jun 5th “50 Years of LIFE… DRESS style Changes”

Some times in LIFE it does pay to keep some of your old PHOTOS… just to compare …

You now, can compare where I am… in the first set of Photos…

with the second PHOTO below…

“WHAT a drastic change in the dress style of young ladies”

“Just a pitiful mess… if I say so myself”

“It is just hard to believe”

1952 Classmates

The photo on the left is of our Class of 1952 a month or two before graduation. Front row left to right: Mary Agnes Seidmeyer – Jean Saettele – Theresa Wieland – Violet Pheiffer Standing left to right: Stella M. Samtoyo – Mary Ellen McClarren – and Gail Porter. Missing from the photo Betty Jean Musgrove – Eleanor Faucher – Elma Rutherford.

This picture was taken at the corner entrance of German St. Vincent Orphan Home Gymnasium. Did not know I would have this photo all these years and should have taken better care of it , as well as of a lot of others. ( let this be a lesson to you – take good care of the photos you take today – you just might want to show them off sixty years from now)?

Picture to the right is of Mary Ellen McClarren and Eleanor Faucher, taken on front lawn of Mary Ellen. They were very good friends – spending weekends swimming at Down’s Swimming Pool on South Broadway.

If you know of any of these gals from 1952 – let us hear from you? Remember we don’t have forever to be in touch! We are all – highly prized seniors!

1920’s Mom and Friends!

This is a picture of my Mother in the 1920’s! Mom is the good looking gal with the pearl necklace. I think one of the other girls would be her next door neighbor, Martha Huffman. The house does not look like where my Mother lived with her parents, but this is taken in North Saint Louis, Missouri. Maybe you know where this location is and can let me know? Sure would like to know what they have planned to do? They are all so smartly dressed and all have such nice hair-do’s. But, in those days everybody was always dressed to entertain “royally? Today, the high fashion is in jeans and shorts – even in church? We sure do a wild about change in our attire!
