Scope and content
Lincoln High School students mend and press clothes for needy children's Christmas gifts. In an annual tradition begun in 1922, the school will provide food, clothes, household goods and toys for needy Tacoma families in a drive sponsored by the Lincoln News. In 1937, the school has selected 66 families to play Santa to. Each home classroom has a basket to fill with food. In addition, a holiday dance was held with participants contributing toys or cash.
