Juanita Sulay and Joan Millares on a Caballeros de Dimas-Alang Float

A Filipino Fourth of July float representing the Aglipay and Donna Aurora Quezon Caballeros de Dimas-Alang lodges. Several children are on the float. Girls are dressed in Filipino dresses and are wearing sashes with various titles. These titles were awarded to the young women who raised the most money during lodge fundraisers. Joan Ellen Rodriguez (then Millares) is depicted wearing the "faith" sash and Juanita Sulay Wilson is wearing the "hope" sash.
