A parade of boys with a naval theme, staged under the Pelham School's name, sets this view apart from the many street processions in the Bain collection. The glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, made by the Bain News Service, which supplied newspapers with photographs of everyday city life in the early twentieth century. The date is not recorded and the title rests on the agency's unverified notes, so the exact occasion remains uncertain, though school drills of this kind were a familiar part of the period's youth culture.
