1949 St. Patrick's Day Parade Missouri School of Mines Rolla

Captured from an 8mm movie of the Missouri School Of Mines, MSM, St. Patrick's Day parade in Rolla, Mo. I added the music that was on the hit parade in 1949.

This is by far the coolest video on youtube! I was born and raised in Rolla, MO and have yet to miss a "BEST EVER!"

Thank You for sharing this video. Good times are timeless. A glimpse of 1949 in 2007, very special indeed!

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.

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

Happy St Patrick's Day

FINALIST Wyllie O Hagan St Patrick's Day Film Competition 2007

"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."
