Well, the film developed and a contact sheet created. It's always awesome when an unknown roll of black and white film is developed and something actually appears. This roll was confirmed to be 50 years old by the t-shirt one of the guys was wearing... that never almost never happens. The street hockey is cool too. If you find film get it developed... our local photo lab doesn't develop old black and white or slides, they still process C-41... and offer 1 hr turn around.
