Scope and content
Although Annie Wright Seminary was a girls' school, little boys were allowed to attend the K-4 and K-5 classes. Here they participated with the girls in various pre-school and kindergarten activities like taking field trips to Point Defiance Zoo and riding the train to Olympia, building a creche for Christmas, marching in Easter and Halloween parades, and creating their own "made-up" dances and songs. The entire school would also participate in special events, such as the May Day festival, to honor the May Queen and her court. These 22 children were probably dressed to perform in a program of modern dance under the direction of Nancy Jane Bare. (The Shield yearbook, 1953, p. 31)
