From The Indianapolis Star, Wednesday, March 18, 1925: Orange, green, and white, colors of the new Irish republic, predominated yesterday’s parade as practically every Indianapolis person of Irish heritage celebrated the glory of St. Patrick under the auspices of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Thousands of persons lined downtown streets, viewing the parade and shouting riotous greetings to friends in the ranks of the A. O. H., the Knights of Columbus, the Knights of St. George, the Catholic Order of Foresters, the A. O. H. Ladies Auxiliary, the Daughters of Isabella, and the Juvenile Hibernians. Scores of automobiles in a line decked with floating green, orange, and white balloons, gold harps, shamrocks, and fluttering green ribbons followed two Kingan trucks carrying a sparkling cargo of pretty colleens wearing green hats and waving Irish republican flags and the Stars and Stripes.
