Scope and content
One of the features of National Education Week in 1939 was a dressmaking class display inside a Fisher's Department Store window. Stadium High students Edrys Berg (at left) and Ruth Webb put finishing touches to an outfit credited to Phyllis Walters of Lincoln High School. Proud parents and curious customers were able to observe students in action behind the large glass-plate store windows. Students from elementary to senior high levels demonstrated skills and achievements, often in downtown store window displays, during November's National Education Week. (T. Times, 11-10-1939, p.18)
