Scope and content
These young men and women, posed in front of the platform diving tower at "The Oakes" on Lake Steilacoom in May of 1924, were participating in the trials for the 1924 Olympic Games that were to be held in Paris. Those in suits and hats are presumed to be judges and/or coaches. Merle "Blackie" Fadden, representing Crystal Pool, Seattle, won the diving trials. Katheryne Brown of Tacoma and Coral Moran, representing the YWCA of Spokane, won their swimming events. All three qualified to enter the final Olympic tryouts in Indianapolis in early June.
