Just noticed that the girls in the top row have their elbows bent but SAD doesn't. If that's been addressed before I missed it. Almost all the pictures I've seen of her look like they're a cardboard cut-out of herself.
Good catch with unbent elbow on SAD and SAD alone, azishot.Just noticed that the girls in the top row have their elbows bent but SAD doesn't. If that's been addressed before I missed it. Almost all the pictures I've seen of her look like they're a cardboard cut-out of herself.
Only one without a sweater.
Only one not looking at camera.
Facial sunlight anomaly.
Only one with unbent elbow.
Last item could be explained by falling barometer exacerbating her incipient rheumatoid arthritis.
Or perhaps she's holding up a skirt borrowed from a larger friend.
Everyone remarked she looked distracted that day worrying about future researchers doubting her presence.
She is, as you have observed, not holding the same pose as the others, she doesn't look like she belongs there, and there have been comments that without her sweater, she would not have been part of that group at all.
Now please do keep in mind, that photograph is not only cropped, there must have been a number of more girls there, but the image appears courtesy of THE DAUGHTER of one of the students.
You might consider it a prank image. It's not been used or shown in articles that I am aware of, the tinted images I have shown here belong to the webpages of the DAUGHTER. But what does it tell you?
It tells us that Maxine Box, standing on the left in the top row, who has been identified in THREE class groups and as an adult in previous comments on this thread, who calls herself 'best friend' DIDN'T HAVE A CLASS OF 1960 IMAGE TO SHOW US. The image of SAD that Maxine supplied to Getty Images shows Stanley Ann Dunham at the age of FIFTEEN!
