Girl number six was Rella Finney, who I can not tell you won, but she did emerge to sign this card. My understanding is that the trick here is no trick...you hope the ice preserves your body heat, but then I haven't taken the time to research it. Sometimes mystery is fine. Real Photo Postcard, c. 1940? Collection Jim Linderman
I don't know why but this makes me think of a stupid stunt by a disc jockey in Hawaii in the early 60s at a store called Wigwam. He stayed awake for I can't remember how many days. And as I recall each day the Honolulu Star Bulletin would run a photo of the dark circles under his eyes getting darker and darker. Wish I had those old papers. Wish I could even remember the full story. Oh well...senior moment.
