Scope and content
Governor Arthur B. Langlie, center, in conversation with guests at the formal opening of the U.S.O. club for servicemen of color on September 4, 1942. He may be holding the elbow of the center's director, Ray C. Vaughn. Governor Langlie and Mayor Harry P. Cain were among the dignitaries present at the dedication ceremonies. The U.S.O. center was standing room only; those in attendance were able to listen to music from a Fort Lewis post band, watch the formal presentation of the flag to the U.S.O. by a flag detail from Fort Lewis, listen to remarks by Governor Langlie, Mayor Cain, and Mr. Vaughn, and enjoy dancing.
