Scope and content
On Memorial Day in 1941 a ceremony was held at Stadium High School to pay tribune to the eleven Stadium High alumni who lost their lives in World War I. Twelve wreaths were lain, one each at the base of the eleven trees that lined the parking strip in front of the school, and one at the memorial plaque that lists the names of the soldiers. Jane Welch, left, and Grace Blangy place a wreath at the base of one of the trees. (T. Times 5/30/1941, pg. 1)
