A high school float stands out in this view of a parade the caption calls "Wake Up," a title the Bain News Service recorded on its negative and that has not been independently verified. The George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress holds the agency's glass negatives, which were made for newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. The date is not recorded, so the exact occasion remains unconfirmed, but school floats of that era often carried messages about civic pride or local causes.
