EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment of both mischief and goodwill, this print takes us back to the spirited streets of Middlesbrough on February 6th, 1971. Meet Kathleen McElvaney, an adventurous eighteen-year-old from Normanby, Teeside, who found herself at the center of a unique fundraising event during the annual Rag Week organized by students from Teesside Polytechnic. In this snapshot frozen in time, Kathleen stands tall with a contagious smile that radiates pure joy. However, her cheerful demeanor is somewhat contrasted by the unusual predicament she finds herself in – trapped within homemade stocks while being playfully bombarded with flour bags. But fear not! This jovial spectacle was all for a noble cause. As part of their efforts to raise funds for charitable endeavors, these spirited students devised creative ways to engage and entertain the community. The sight of Kathleen bravely enduring her flour-filled fate undoubtedly brought laughter and cheer to those who witnessed it firsthand. This photograph not only captures a slice of UK social history but also serves as a reminder of youthful enthusiasm and selflessness. It showcases how individuals like Kathleen willingly put themselves out there for the betterment of others during times when communities came together to support worthy causes. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints' collection curated by NCJ (not affiliated with any commercial use), this image invites us to reflect upon our own capacity for compassion and reminds us that even small acts can make significant differences.
