At center, from left to right, Alice Phelan and B. F. Enyeart, Burbank Schools Superintendent, pose in front of the framework for the Burbank City Schools' float entry into the Tournament of Roses. They both stand in profile, facing left, but turn their heads towards camera. Alice Phelan holds onto the framework behind her as she casts her gaze downward. The incomplete float stands in partial view behind them. Its design appears to emulate tracery and stained glass elements seen in Gothic architecture.
