Parade 1955

I don't know who the girl is with her back turned, but she's looking at Wayne. That might be Leslie Owens just over LaDane McSwain's shoulder, under the star. Nancy Ann Dillard is seated in the black Dress. Ann Bounds is seated to her right. Standing are Madelyn Prather (left) and Aletha Carr (right). I'm not sure of the exact date, but I think 1955 is about right.

The location is the corner of Commerce and McKinney. You can see Perry Brothers clearly. The Tidwell Drug sign is just over Aletha's shoulder. Then there's the Tom Thumb grocery. Yowell's Drug is next to it, and you can see the Palace Theater at the far right. It had been closed for years by the time of the photo, I think.
