Loemker, Herman J., 1868-1937

This image shows over 100 boys, identically dressed in short white pants, long sleeved white shirts and dark cummerbunds, waving flags and standing in lines facing the spectator stands at the Municipal Athletic Field complex. The stands are almost filled with spectators. Other boys and men are sitting and standing on the roof of another smaller building near the field. Also visible is another structure with a painted sign that reads “Conlin and Kerns Co ICE.” The number 1352 is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
