Description:
A: Envelope to hold negatives. Labeled: "8/24/55 Elks Blanton and Little League".
B: Negative in horizontal view of an interior, possibly of a lodge or event hall. A group of boys in baseball uniforms which read "Elks" on the front stand in two rows in the center of the image. Behind them are men who may be the coaches, along with older men in suits wearing the decorative chains of the Elks. There is a square altar—like structure at left, draped in the United States flag with elk antlers atop it. A podium stands at right. There are chairs in the background with a couple of seated men.
C: Negative in horizontal view of an interior, possibly of a lodge or event hall. There are five men in suits and a woman in an ankle—length coat. The two men toward the center are wearing decorative chains about their necks. One of them is either receiving or giving and indiscernable object to another man without a chain. Behind them is a surface with a set of antlers atop it, and a star hanging from the ceiling.
D: Negative in horizontal view of the same interior, arranged similarly to the previous negative, except that the chainless man who is either giving or receiving the object is now looking directly at the camera.
E: Negative in horizontal view of the same interior, with two men in suits and the woman in the coat. The younger chainless man from the previous two negatives stands in the center, holding up some kind of document.
F: Negative in horizontal view of the same interior from negative "B," showing the same baseball team, shown with just their coaches, not the Elks members.
