Scope and content
ca. 1926. The lovely Ethel Haasarud, a Lincoln High School graduate, was the runner up in the hotly disputed Miss Tacoma contest July 5, 1926. Around that time, she worked for a Tacoma photographer, probably Chapin Bowen who took this timeless glamor photograph of her. By 1931, she was working in the box office at the Pantages Theater, whom she had represented in the Miss Tacoma contest. She was born March 24 in Minnesota. Her family came to Tacoma in 1919.
