Scope and content
Progress photographs--new junior high. The unusually shaped cafeteria/auditorium is taking shape at the new Henry F. Hunt Junior High School (now Middle School) on June 26, 1957. Resembling a wooden mushroom, the new facility would be able to accommodate students for both meals and assemblies. It would be built separate from the main buildings on campus. The Henry F. Hunt Junior High School would serve, as it still does, the growing neighborhoods of Tacoma's West End and nearby Fircrest. Tacoma Community College would be built just a couple blocks away in 1965. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association.
