Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated June 24, 1964 reads, "No matter. If you're going to be a fireman you slide 25 feet down the pole like anyone else. First, lean out over the hole upstairs and put your right shoulder against the pole. Hug it, and grasp your right wrist with your left hand. Curl your right leg around the pole. Then, wrap your left leg around the pole--and you're off and falling. Firemen wait to catch Clark if he misses the pole."; See images #00112256 through #00112257 for all photos in this series.
