Boze, a Tacoma public school board member spoke at a dad's night meeting of the P.T.A. on behalf of school propositions on the election ballot March 11. With enrollments estimated to increase 1,000 pupils per year it would take 10 to 15 years to provide needed classrooms. In 1952 there were 23,000 pupils in Tacoma public schools. Enrollment for 1960 was predicted to be 31,000. (TNT, 1/30/1952, p.11)
