Simmons 028
People gathered around a pinball machine, wallflowers chatting or dancers resting on the benches, crowded dance floor, trio of men standing around a barrel inside the entry door with a stoic woman in the ticket booth under a sign that reads "Saugatuck-Douglas Lions Club, admission plus tax total $1.20", a man in a tuxedo makes an announcement, a woman interacts with a man in a Lion's Club jacket on stage, the horn section of the dance orchestra blasts the crowd. Men in military uniforms sprinkled throughout the crowd.
