The negative sleeve said Notre Dame Play 02-28-1967, then the 02 was overwritten to read 03-28-1967.

Whatever it is, there is lots of cavorting going on, seemingly to music. One thing that is readily apparent is that not every male is made for a kilt.

It seems like I’ve hit a string of sports negative sleeves. I’ll try to spread them out a little, but there is some softball action coming.
I should have run these photos when it was unseasonably warm back in Cape a couple of weeks ago. They’ll have to serve as reminders of warmer days now that smoke is coming out of Cape Girardeau chimneys.
I’m assuming that it was a lifesaving class at Capaha Park Pool in 1964. I see some faces that look familiar, but I’ll let you put names to them.
