1952-1955

Cfa collection: Cynthia Holmberg Collection
Notes: This reel compiles a variety of scenes showcasing family and social life in both urban and rural areas. It contains many scenes of the family gathered outdoors doing various activities (i.e. playing games, eating watermelon, talking).; Early in the film there are shots of a body of water and boaters in a coastal setting with striking geological formations. This is followed by portrait-style shots of family members outdoors in the snow. There are shots of a man riding a horse in the countryside, and family members sitting outside in the sun in a setting. These scenes may take place in Kentucky. Next are more portrait-style shots of friends or family members that appear to have been shot in Chicago, including images shot in front of the family's home on S Rhodes Ave. This is followed by many shots of children riding bicycles and playing with dogs in a more rural setting. Adults, children, and babies are shown relaxing outdoors in the summertime. There are scenes of a football game, including shots of the cheerleaders and marching band.
