Scope and content
Beginning of the whisker growing contest at the College of Puget Sound. Over 50 young men had signed up for the two week "Whisker Derby," with the coronation of the winner coinciding with Homecoming on October 26, 1939. Whisker styles were supposed to be in keeping with those popular 48 years prior, when the first class graduated from CPS. Pictured are Bill Moore and Jack Hungerford on the left registering with Gwen Roach. Janet Hatch is feeling the chins of Emery Watte and Neil Richardson, making sure they are completely clean shaven for the contest kick off. (T. Times 10/18/1939, pg. 18)
