The Happening on the Mt. Baldy
Spring 1969
cover sylvi mal joan jill all
It had been a year of El Nino and the Marinas on the West Coast were hit by storms and floods. Mount Baldy's river flooded way past its banks leaving large trees overturned and uprooted. The mountain road had just been repaved brand with a black new white stripe. That road disappeared around a bend, cut straight across- the road was gone. Up river was a site built of native stone. There were stairs, and a paved platform overlooking the deep and wide flood-stage river-bed of new landscape. A small stone room with an open roof was at the top of the stairs, that was the last stop for the guests. Merillee arrived in her sports car dressed in her Robin Hood costume complete with bow and arrows. It was her job to guide each of the guests one by one to the entrance of the path. PRINTS On the way, behind each bend, was a girl in costume with something for them to eat.One could not see all of the girls posed from the starting place down river at the end of the pavement. I stood up on the platform so that I could see how it was all progressing since I was responsible for it, it was my Senior Project.
Each girl had an idea for her personal costume for the event. I had images in my mind of the costumes which often matched the pictures in their minds.
Several but not all of the participating students were posed for still photos for my Senior Exhibit.
