Scope and content
This photograph, taken February 18, 1948, shows three Stadium H.S. students being initiated prior to being accepted by clubs. A young woman is using her lipstick to write the names of "Jester" or "Penguin" along with circles and lines on the faces of three young men who are seeking membership into one of the school clubs. Another young man holds a paddle with a shape something like a guitar. The 1948 high school yearbook for Stadium does not list any clubs called the Jesters or the Penguins.
