This  little girl is on her way to
her first dance recital at the age of 4 or 5.
The photo was taken around  1940 

Now which of our members are aged 84-85 
I will start off our guessing procedure and go with our...
... Jane S..

Sorry, I did not mention: Please put your guesses here and ... wait to see who is right!

SHIRLEY's 85, too!

Jane S... i know but i can only pick one at a time, and you have the blonde hair...i guess i will be sat on the naughty step if i have gotten this wrong...

How about Joy? Hair color should be right?

Gladys was the one I remember always willing to dance...

Love this idea!  Guess on, Shirley never had blond hair, that I do know. Can't think of anyone ever mentioning taking dancing lessons, but Jenny has a grand that does so maybe the nut didn't fall far from the tree???  Just thinking, Bubble....

Is Jenny old enough for that?

L💗VE this........as much as I like your theory, SHIRLEY, it can't be me, I wasn't born until 1947🥰🥰
I knew it could not be you either.....you were a Tom Boy🤣🤣

When does the revelation come?

I just had my 83rd birthday and I don't feel any older!  However, I do know that I can't do everything I used to do.  No guessing here as I am the same old SCFSue!

Have a nice day, Every Buddy.
Sue

I don't know who it could be,
Shirley or Gladys  both sound good to me.

Sandy

Could it be Beverly?

Jenny, I thought the same thing..no tu tu for Shirley, maybe a set of guns on her hips

Hmmmm....not Bubble....

Haha, Amy, that reminds me of my daughter's 5th birthday... all she wanted was "cowboy boots, guns & holster".  Her father was heart broken.    She & the little neighbor girl rode stick horses everywhere they went, Roy Rogers was her idol.. and that lasted until first grade when she came from from school and mentioned "Tommy kissed me AGAIN" and her father nearly went into cardiac arrest!

Jenny, I did know you were too young.       Gladys I can picture, even though she was about as ornery as they come. I did enjoy hearing about her escapades. I can't think of anyone ever talking about dance lessons.....Sue, Phyllis, Joy, Jane.. bunch of us about the same age.

Now is the person still with us? That will help me guese.
I am of the right age . And a dancer from age four bit never had blond hair

Jackie ---
I love the phrase  "i guess i will be sat on the naughty step".

Sue. Now all library's are closed and so no problem if your books past due. Think ours taking a month at least

MaryZ now I had that same problem over Christmas and New Years. They checked chest. Lungs etc. found nothing. Phlem pretty mins gone now but o still do the throat clearing. I think it's more of a nose clearing from allergies. Also dust in the house. My big heavy drapes need cleaning.
We are really having a heavy snow storm today. And so would not be going out anyway. Car buried again.

I'm guessing that it's JaneS. 

Well the age fits me. I was a dancer but never had light hair. Now is the person still with us. That would help me.

NO !  Not me !    Joy

Once more I ask....When is the revelation?

dum de dum dum............Good question: is she still with us?
                          Not sure how old Bubble is, but I'm betting she had dark, curly hair as a little girl.
                          Tomorrow is another day. Did Jane EVER deny it???

Shirley...
... i dont recollect Jane S denying it is her, my gut instinct is still saying it is her...Marilyne, i see we are both in agreement...

Rammel...
...did you ever watch the tv programme Jo Frost ( Supernanny ) i believe she was the one who coined that phrase... the naughty step, naughty chair, naughty stall...

Shirley, I got Polio at age 2, so unfortunately it never could be me. But watching a talented ballet dancer friend of mine, I could wish...

OK, this has gone on long enough!  It is JaneS.  I was a little towhead when I was growing up.  The dancing teacher lived right down the block from me with her mother and she wasn't married.  But her sister was and lived on the other side of the river but visited a lot.  She had a little girl who was born the same day I was and we became friends.  One day Mary Louise, the teacher came out and said, "Honjane, I'm starting my dance classes next week and Yvonne is going to take lessons.  Why don't you ask your Mom if you can join us."  I was 4 and it took me about 30 seconds to make it home to ask.  The result was that both my sister and I joined that class. I turned 5 right before the recital.  I loved it and that was my first recital!  There were more!

Jackie #1 and Marilyne #2. Great!

I hope someone else will post a "guess who?". Don't hesitate to ask for help if need be.
Meanwhile, here is the next one.

Who is this handsome young man?
