Scope and content
Leslie E. Squires posed prettily as "Miss Tacoma" after charming the judges and winning the "for men only" bathing beauty contest held at the annual picnic of the Free and Accepted Masons, Tacoma Lodge #22, on July 16, 1927 at the Oakes, on the shore of Lake Steilacoom. Undoubtedly his winsome smile, charming two piece swimsuit and stylish bag helped Squires, an employee at the Griffin Wheel Co., win out over his closest competitor, Sheriff Tom Desmond.
