Not really anachronistic, Meg. Both things happened in the 1970s. Remember the old key-punch cards for computers and the endless want ads for key operators? I assumed that that was the sort of job the older sister was doing. And in my 1974 yearbook, most were straightforward poses but we had a few trailblazers posing casually next to trees.

At our mock Newbery discussion, anachronistic elements in Criss Cross were also brought up. The older sister doing data entry for a computer company as a summer job was one, another was the mention of the casual poses of senior photos in the yearbook. We all agreed that if this were the 1970s as we thought it was, that senior yearbook photots were still very straightforward studio portraits.
