Scope and content
In October of 1944 these six young people represented all the students in Tacoma and Pierce County at an awards ceremony for the "Schools at War" war savings program. Each of the six groups of schools represented by the students received a special citation for exceeding both the national and state goals for student contributions to the war effort. During the previous year's campaign, the students in Tacoma/Pierce County had raised an average of $38.13 per student to help finance the war. Pictured are: (standing, l to r) Andy Moe, Colleen Kelly, La Rae Andre and Thomas Miller; (seated, l to r) Ivar Pihl and Lorraine Danell. (T. Times, 10/12/44, p. 3).
