Scope and content
Seven first graders at Whitman School became thespians in February of 1926 when they re-enacted the story of America's first flag for their school's PTA. The little play was so popular that the cast travelled to American Lake Hospital to perform for the war veterans on the 22nd, the first of several repeat performances. Pictured in their classroom are, left to right, Annell Hewitt, Mariette Gearhardt, Robert Haglund (as George Washington), Patsey Armour (as Betsy Ross), James Paulsen, Richard Stidman and Elva Eikenberry (seated.)
