1952: Don's Graduation

Cfa collection: Armstrong Family Collection
Notes: A massive crowd is assembled in a large field, surrounded by trees, for a graduation ceremony. Robed graduates march down an aisle -- few details of these figures are visible due to underexposure and harsh daylight shadows. Later, a shot of a formation of white-uniformed figures performing an army salute in unison. Several more crowd shots ensue before a series of medium shots of Donald with various friends at a time, in robes and caps, posing and smiling in front of the camera (with crowds in the background).
