Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "Teen—Age Club — 1st Prize Most Comical. Ice worms in the ice—berg[sic] 4th 59" in handwriting. The image shows an unknown street in Juneau, with a low brown structure with a peaked roof on the far side of the street, and mountains in the background at right. A float is traveling along the street toward the left, built on a flatbed truck with a red cab. The float is meant to look like an iceberg, decorated in white, pale blue, and dark blue. Three figures sit atop the float, dressed in large blue heads with painted faces. The number "19" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper left.
