Figure 1.--The Iversons had a family ranch in South Dakota, a largely rural state where agriculture and cattle rearing was a major part of the economy. The family snapshot was taken in 1973 on their ranch near Holabird, Hyde County. It shows the Iverson family, the parents and their two boys who lived with them on the farm. Notice the modern looking ranch-style hoime. We do not know the boys' names. Along with them are two more fashionably dressed teenagers. They are not identified, possibly relatives or friends who were visiting from town. It was an obviously hot day. On the northern plains it gets hot during the summer and bitter cild during the winter. Two boys wear tank tops and one no shirt at all. Short pants were becomoing more popular for American boys in the 1970s. The oldest boy wears trendy summer shorts and tube socks. Short pants and tube socks were all the rage in the 1970s, in part because of the growing popularity of basketball and soccer.
