Scope and content
Joanne Smith (center) beamed with delight as she was outfitted with a pretty flowered kimono on March 21, 1960. Nobuko Yamaguchi (right), from Tacoma's sister city Kokura, adjusted the garment for the girl. Looking on were, left to right, Mrs. James Ward, Kelly Jean McCormick, Mrs. Gunnard Anderson and Dickie Ott (seated on floor.) The photograph was publicity for a Japanese Children's Festival being held at the Adastra School for Gifted Children in University Place on April 1. It was sponsored jointly by the school and the Japanese Methodist School. Sukiyaki would be on the menu (with a side order of flapjacks) and a royal court chosen from the children attending. The University Place school was located at 3143 Bridgeport Way and directed by Mrs. Alma H. McCormick. (TNT 3-27-60, D-3)
