Scope and content
In September of 1947, the Tacoma Athletic Commission presented Stadium High School with their first modern electric scoreboard. It was dedicated at the September 19th Grid-Go-Round at the Bowl. Pictured were Dick Sallee, on the ladder and standing, L-R, Carl Caddey, secretary of the School Board; George Weller, South Tacoma Business Men's Club; Gerry Waechter, president of TAC; and Joe Fitzpatrick, South Tacoma Kiwanis. Recognition was given during the ceremony to Henry Sallee for his work in constructing the board, Al Davies for the donation of the steel and South Tacoma Business Men's Club and Kiwanis for their financial contributions. An electric scoreboard was also constructed for Lincoln High School, to be installed on the completion of their bowl. (T.Times, 9/16/1947, p.1)
