May 22, 1957br/Many hands are needed to lift this driftwood log into a truck at the beach as firemen collect decorations with which to transform the armory into a scene of the seashore for their Blossom Dance. From the left are Fire Chief Ivan Pearson, Mel Phelps, Elmer Parker, Kenneth Anderson and John Maynard. The group braved the threat of getting trucks stuck in soft beach sand to make sure of an ample supply of decorations for the dance.
