  • At the gala celebrating the opening of the Stadium Bowl, Miss Helen Parkhurst, Edison teacher, coordinated the finale--described by Shirley Miller in the News Tribune in January, 1940:"Thirty-five thousand girls, attired in brilliant red, yellow and black, pirouetted onto the field with castanets and tambourines tinkling. The dance itself had the audience on its feet when it came to the supposed end. But then the band started another tune and the dancers broke formation; started running from the field the onlookers supposed. But not so. Instead they ran with the precision of a Rockette chorus to their second positions and as the music reached its final crescendo a gigantic living "Tacoma" was spelled out before the surprise and cheering 80,000." Since there was only a total of 18,611 students in the district in 1910, the number of school-girls participating was likely overstated--but it certainly may have felt like that many. Tacoma High School was re-named Stadium High School in 1913.
