Figure 1.-- Here we see the children in the Queman family. This picture was taken in Red Creek, New York. Unfortunately it is undated, but looks like the 1960s to us. The children mostly wear short pants, including the girls. The photograph is a good example of how girls were commonly wearing shorts for casual wear by the 1960s. The children were also barefoot. This was had become less common, but was not unknown around the home during the summer.
