Photo taken in the early morning, August 20, 1967.  "Stewardess" was the correct term at that time.  I never saw a "steward" then and never heard the term "flight attendant."  She was a co-worker of a good friend of mine (also a "stewardess").  The training of the stewardesses at that time (which my friend described in great detail) seemed to reflect the 1950s rather than the 1960s.  The emphasis was on looking and acting "feminine" and attractive.  I traveled extensively back then and all the stewardesses were attractive;  this included major airlines in the USA and Europe and even very small carriers in West Africa.  If someone were to do a study of this residual sexism, a  close examination of the US high-school indoctrination of females in the 1950s might be a good place to start.  Look at yearbooks at that time and see the apparently required attendance for girls in groups called "minor magic mirrors," "major magic mirrors," and similar organizations.  Sounds like a good Ph. D. dissertation topic.  Please let me know when it's published.  Thanks.
