which will make it memorable as long as the youngest persons who witnessed it shall survive, were the school floats, the Colonial floats, and industrial floats of the Third and Fourth divisions.
The school features were as follows:
Boys of the Center School costumed as Indians and farmers—the Indians emitting blood-curdling war-whoops from time to time.
Pony cart trimmed with pink and white containing members of “Miss Treat’s class” representing butterflies.
Float of “Room 1” (Center School), trimmed with white and yellow, carrying under a canopy twenty girls dressed in white. It was drawn by two sorrel horses also trimmed with white and yellow.
Another float of “Room 1” trimmed with flags and bunting. It contained twenty-three girls and was drawn by four horses.
Flower girls dressed in pink and green—to represent the petals and sepals of flowers—on a “Cinderella” float provided with a pink canopy. It was drawn by a pair of black horses.
Float of “Rooms 5 and 6” (Center School), trimmed mostly with green and white and carrying twenty-four girls. It was drawn by black horses which were decorated with flags.
Float of “Rooms 7 and 8” (Center School), green and white—stars of green laurel against white bunting—carrying twenty children in white wearing white wreaths.
Float of “Rooms 3 and 4” (Center School), yellow and white, carrying forty children under a canopy.
