Dutch folk dance being performed on Mirror Lake, by 35 second and third graders of the Lake Placid School, during a Winter Carnival celebration. MacKenzie note suggests the origin of this picture. "Lake Placid's very first Mid-Winter Carnival opened on Feb. 3, 1914 and continued for three days. Elaborate events, planned by the Board of Trade and widely advertised, were witnessed by large crowds. The railroads gave special rates to those coming from the cities. The program included a parade of decorated floats, toboggan and speed skating races, horse racing on Mirror Lake and folk dances by school children." This could also be a photograph identified in MacKenzie's file as follows: On Feb. 14,1925, "A brilliant fancy dress ice carnival and parade of floats took place on Mirror Lake, with an exhibition of figure skating. Prizes were awarded for individual costumes. The prize for the most artistic boy was awarded to George Hart (now Dr. George Hart) for the Dutch Boy costume."
