Scope and content
An unidentified couple sip bottles of soda on the sidelines of the enlisted men's dance on November 13, 1940 at the Armory. The dance was the second in a series of dances. Soldiers from McChord, Ft. Lewis and Camp Murray were invited. They came from the local area and from across the country. Young ladies from Tacoma were asked to attend and serve as dance partners for the men, some of whom were far from home. (T. Times 11/14/1940, pg. 1)
