On the Phone

She's wearing a name tag, so this had to be taken at some sort of event.  Fund raising for the local school band? 

It's Square Format Thursday!

How many times do I have to tell you people?  There's no such thing as square format Thursday!  So why did I buy these two snapshots?  Well I've always liked the see my dress pose, she's good looking, and I liked all the elephants.  But, is the old fashioned crank phone on the wall functional or just decorative?  Looking at these two photos, I'm guessing the fifties, and I thought calling the operator and asking for a connection was a long gone thing by then.
