Title: Veterans of Foreign Wars - Booster's Club : Squirrel Club
Photographer: McAllister, L. L. (Louis L.), 1877-1963.
Description: Ca. 1956 photo of 11 men, all members of the Squirrel Club--evidently, a boosters club within the VFW with a mission, among other things, to have fun. Most are wearing what looks like a garrison cap put on sideways, with a variety of insignia, decoration, and perhaps the cootie mascot (also on neckties). The men are displaying their beverages of choice: Black Label and Schaefer beer in a can. (Beer in a can had been available since 1935--hardly a novelty item.) Location is probably the VFW hall at 69 College St., Burlington, Vt.
