The boys wear jackets and bow ties or neckties, the girls wear evening gowns or skirts and blouses. In one photograph a boy wears a sleeveless sweater and a girl wears a vest. Party decorations include a model of the Eifel Tower and picket fences. In one photograph a young man pretends to smoke a pipe and play a guitar.
