Scope and content
This is a studio portrait of Arnold Snell, taken in late November of 1941 to show muscular development. Mr. Snell, a member of Clover Park High School's Class of 1940, went on to wrestle professionally. Mr. Snell made the front page of the News Tribune on June 5, 1955, when it was reported that he had received a permit to probe Mexican ruins and given mineral rights, except for uranium, by the Mexican government. He wanted to explore the Barranca de Cobre Canyon. He had already unearthed vintage tapestries in Chiapas, Mexico, in 1947. (TNT 6-5-55, A-1-article & photo)
