My dad attended the Missouri School of Mines back then and I have a set of photos of the St. Patrick's Day parade from back then, 5"x8". There is a good chance that it was the same year as this film; it certainly was in the same time frame.

"This film, clearly sits in the Refreshing Memories Category of the competition. It offers the viewer an intriguing glimpse of a St Patrick's Day Event from the late 1940's. One would wonder if the St Patrick's Day films on YouTube this year will appear as bizarre fifty years or so later."
Best ever ST. PATS, still going strong :D

I think I saw a 8mm film that Tom took at UMR of the dunk tank (Alice) years ago. Back in the late 60's I would like to see it again.
Thanks!... Steve
