Affection
I notice in these old photos so many indications frankly of affection--arms around each other's shoulders, even holding hands--that one would never see in young men of their age today. I don't believe there is any "gay" element to it--people just had a different perspective on interpersonal relationships in those days. It was a camaradarie among peers instead of the competition that exists today.
Taller derby hats (about six seen here)
In those day used to identify the jobs held; such as bookkeepers, secretarys, etc. I've noticed, in looking at many older photos that some temporary workers wore the hats that identified their 'other work'.
What a group!
I bet there were some characters in this group! Is anyone over 5 feet tall?
