Title	Geology float
Description	"Second float for parade." Side view of a vehicle with a flat cloth or paper displayed on the vehicle's side, extending from the top of the wheel wells at its bottom past the vehicle's cab at its top. The cloth or paper is decorated with a cartoon related to evolution. At the bottom of the cartoon is the label, "Geological Family Tree" and at the top, "Tennessee Or Bust". The central image contains drawings of an amoeba superimposed on a tree stump with one branch leading to the right. Along the branch are drawings of a fish, frog, and a primate swinging near the branch's end. A man stands to the right and holds on to the tip of the branch. A gorilla in glasses and mortarboard is in the upper left of the cartoon. Beyond the float, cars are parked in a row on the right, and trees and brick buildings are also in the background.
