Scope and content
On May 13, 1937, this photograph of the junior girls' drill team of the Ancient Order of United Workmen appeared in the Tacoma Times. This group was the only junior drill team of its kind in the state of Washington and they were preparing to perform at the state convention to be held in Tacoma the following week. The group in the back holds signs: "Patriotism, Obedience, Honesty." Girls in the front are, left to right, Aimee Fuhrmeister, Ethel Gunnett, Virginia Sharman, Jean Scalara, Phyllis Nelson, Eva Harrison, Juanita Retke, Lois Langdon, Jean Marie Baker, Francine Funk, Clara Panico, Edna Ruth Harper and Jean Mergel. In the back are Maxine Walsh, James Melton, Bill Funk, Capt. Charles Funk, Loren Cowling and Billy Cook. The United Workmen was a mutual benefit society, offering an early form of life insurance to its members. (filed with Argentum) (T.Times 5/13/1937, pg. 12)
