Friday's Photo: Summer in Bienville Parish

I was in Palma's dining room in Texas when I saw this photo, probably taken in Ringgold of six young girls in the 1950s. I remember asking permission to post it as I thought it was so sweet. Palma was so gracious - she let this stranger (me) who she called a shirt-tail cousin (actually a 3rd cousin once removed) sit in her dining room and scan photos and documents. I traveled 1800+ miles (three times) to see her mother's collection and still don't think I saw everything she had.

This photo, found in Marguerite Cook Clark's collection of family photos, shows six young girls. The girls' first names are at the bottom of the photo.  The first girl's name appears to be Texas, but please correct me if I am wrong. Texas is followed by Peggy, Patsy, Doris Jean, Beverly, and Palma.
