Scope and content
Girls were not the only ones interested in sewing as these young men at Stadium High School can attest. Pictured on April 17, 1969, are eight male students hard at work on Elna sewing machines. They were enrolled in Vella Boyles' home economics class. Elna had a reputation for fine quality machines; established in 1940, they built the first compact, portable, electric sewing machine with a free arm. Photograph ordered by Homemaker Supply Co., Portland.
