EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1950, Mac Beardall, Doug Frazer, and Dennis Wright are seen in the aftermath of a procession of London students, dressed as skin-clad savages on the Westminster College float in aid of the National Playing Fields Association. The theme of the whole event was set to celebrate the period from 1950 to 2000, and this trio's elaborate costumes perfectly encapsulated the spirit of the era. The men, with their painted bodies and primitive accessories, appear to be in a state of shock and disbelief as they survey the damage caused by the H-bomb that had been featured on their float. The nuclear war theme was a popular one during the late 1940s and 1950s, reflecting the fear and anxiety of the post-war era. The National Playing Fields Association is a British charity that was founded in 1925 to secure and protect public access to open spaces for recreation and sport. The students' procession was an annual event aimed at raising awareness and funds for the organization. Mac Beardall, Doug Frazer, and Dennis Wright were likely students themselves, participating in the event as a way to give back to their community and showcase their creativity. Their skin-clad savage costumes were a bold and daring choice, reflecting the spirit of experimentation and rebellion that was prevalent during the time. Despite the destruction caused by the H-bomb on their float, the students' determination and resilience are evident in their unwavering commitment to the cause. The photograph captures a moment of reflection and solidarity, reminding us of the power of community and the importance of preserving open spaces for future generations.
