Scope and content
Manitou School group. A group portrait of one of the school classes at Manitou School. There are nine girls and ten boys. The girls all are wearing dresses or skirts and blouses. Members of the Manitou Improvement Club began petitioning the School Board in 1910 to locate a school in their neighborhood in the southwest area of the city. Instead, the Board moved a one-story building from Tacoma to District 38 and furnished transportation for students to attend there. (For the Record, a History of Tacoma Public Schools, 1869-1984, by Winnifred L. Olsen) Format 5" x 8"
