joey – this is a section of a page from the july 5 1960 gdt showing scenes from that year’s fiesta.  i think i found it in somebody’s trash a long time ago.  i thought you could crop down to some of the photos showing sporting events (the vertical! greasy pole – bring that one back!).  i think most of the photos were by charlie lowe, the master, but no bylines, just ‘times staff’.

  1. That was the year a storm had caused a coast ship on morrowing to break off and wipe out greasy pole so the committe heard of using a greased pole sticking up in the old country so they erected one in front of the old Might-Mac Building on beach . Was different but was as good as in water for viewing and crowds during high tide.
