Fun from the Fifties

This seems to be the week for photos! I have several more that readers have sent to me this week. If you have some hiding in YOUR closet be sure to share. These two are from Stan Jordan. They were taken at a wedding reception in 195(?). These poor kids were the entertainment! Shown in the second photo are Gail Farrell, Charlotte Hill, Stan Jordan, Clint Jones, (?) Calhoun. If you can identify the others in the first photo let us know. I suspect I know that little flower girl, but I'll wait to hear from her family. That's what the comment button is for...

The flower girl is me, Virginia Boydstun. Don't you love my pose?
On the back row, the first girl is Sandra Jordan and the boy on the end is Ronnie Hill.
Not sure about the middle two.
And, I don't think this was a wedding reception but not sure what it was. I'll try to find out.
