MAD Festival, unknown dates. These thirteen black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using several different film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to which film roll they originally came from. Each of these groups will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images. Image 40a shows a girl performing a contortionist/dance routine using two stools of different heights.
