1948. Mooseheart, Illinois. "Activities at Mooseheart orphanage. High school boy and girl in their Cadet Corps uniforms." And their chaperone. Kodachrome by Stanley Kubrick for Look magazine. View full size.
the U.S. had a space cadet corps, guess it must have been in the early 50's.
I did four years in Marine Corps during wartime and had no idea a man could be so decorated. I'm thinking if he can dodge the chaperone with the nurse he might win another medal.
It took me a minute to spot the chaperone. Love it.
Later that night she said:
"Stop! Dave!"
He began to sing the words to the 1890's classic "Daisy"
The words stayed with Stanley for years. . .
Looks like the orphanage secured the lad's uniform at Fascist Surplus. He's just missing the cap tassel.
