Description

The Forest Park Zoo's newest baby elephant doesn't yet have a permanent name. Until then, most people are calling her "Cutie Pie." She has two new friends as the young ladies feed her cake. The smaller girl feeding Cutie is Alice Ann Grove. She came to the zoo to celebrate her birthday, Queen Tut's birthday, and visit the new baby elephant. Alice is dressed in a striped shirt and trousers. The older girl is Sara Ann Hyde. When Sara was younger, she fed cake to Queen Tut when the elephant was no bigger than Cutie Pie. It was those fond memories that led Sara to start the baby elephant fund. Sara is wearing a dress with a large collar and a checkered bow along the front. A crowd of people are standing behind the fence, watching as the girls feed the baby elephant.
