Scope and content
On October 15, 1941 an unidentified surveyor was photographed while taking a sighting across the unfinished bowl at Lincoln High School. The school can be seen in the background. Under the headline "It Won't Be Long Now, Men" this photograph ran in the sports section of the Tacoma Times two weeks later on October 30th. The Lincoln Bowl was not officially dedicated until September 24, 1948, seven years after construction began. World War II virtually stopped all work on the project and a lack of funds plagued further construction after the war. (T. Times 10/30/1941 p.24)
