In the picture's foreground is the school bus from the American Legion's Otter Lake billet, followed by a Navy "duck" carrying members of the Legion's Junior Baseball League, and a float bearing the "40 and 8" membership. The mounted troop represented the Huron Valley Horsemen's Association.

Paraders . . . Units in yesterday's "Youth Day" bike-march were originally separated by age groups (one of which is pictured here following an official car); by the time the parade reached its Ferry Field wind-up point, however, there was little discernible pattern. Officials, sorting the paraders into their age groups again, awarded a total of 30 prizes to the riders of the best-decorate bikes. An estimated 800 youths rode in the parade which drew many other youngsters as spectators.
