The girls are all wearing skirts. Looking north across E. Bremer at 1st Street. The group of girls excitedly discussed the flying saucers as they waited on a downtown Waverly corner for the plane to go over. Most of the youngsters got one or more of the trophies to exchange for prizes in Waverly stores that weekend as part of a merchant promotion. Policeman at right is Vern Lillibridge. WD; 13 May 1955 with more photos.
