Scope and content
On a warm February day in 1940 a group of boys gathered in the playground behind Lowell school, 1210 No. Yakima Ave., to play an energetic game of leapfrog. Lowell school was named in honor of the American poet and diplomat James Russell Lowell. The school was badly damaged by the April 13, 1949 earthquake that shook Tacoma and the Pacific Northwest. One Lowell student, Marvin Klegman, was killed and two others were injured.
