Hello World: 1942
September 1942. Batavia, New York. "Elba FSA farm labor camp. Boys and girls from West Virginia who came to upper New York state to help in the harvest. Boy in the center said, 'Please take my picture now; I want the world to see me when I am happy!' " 4x5 inch acetate negative by John Collier for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.

That West Virginia look
The young ladies have hairstyles appropriate for 1942. The young man's hair is a little unkempt. It reminded me of these young men, also FSA volunteers from West Virginia. Was this a look? I don't remember seeing it in the movies.
Eye candy!
Nice looking girls! I'd be smiling too if I was hanging with them!!
