The women are all older than the boys - their mothers by the looks of things, though there may be a sister or two in there also. One Mom is linking her two sons.
Too many dark pants and light shoe combo's to be a coincidence, though it could just be the fashion of the day I guess. I think they're dressed as they would when they do whatever it is they do, so hockey is out, and football, baseball too - lacrosse remains a possibility, field hockey maybe.
My first thought when i saw the picture was that it was a group of 'rooters' for some team - the cheerleaders of their day. I think its that or a dance group as David suggested.
Great photo - lots of history in those peoples' lives.
