The one in the flowery dress could be my mom.  She looked pretty much exactly like that, around those same years.  Even had dresses just like that.  Same haircut as that for many years, too.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Exiled Dalai Lama Arrives in India (1959)
Tenzin Gyatso—better known as the Dalai Lama—was installed as the spiritual and political leader of Tibet before he reached the age of five. He was a teenager when China took control of Tibet, and subsequent suppression forced him flee to the northern Indian city of Dharamsala. There, he set up the Tibetan exile government. Famously pacifistic in his campaign for Tibetan independence, the Dalai Lama once said it would be appropriate to shoot someone in the leg

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

BBC Report: Spaghetti Grows on Trees (1957)
An estimated 8 million unsuspecting viewers were watching the BBC's trusted current affairs program Panorama when it aired one of the first televised hoaxes in history, a 3-minute report on the Swiss spaghetti harvest. Afterwards, the station received calls from hundreds of curious viewers, including some who wanted information on cultivating their own spaghetti plants. In the report, the year's abundant spaghetti crop was attributed to a mild winter
