Women representing several auxiliaries of Veterans of Foreign Wars organizations posed on the steps of Stadium High School on April 24, 1940. Among the nine women was Mrs. Leon Cecil of Puyallup, senior vice-president of the Department of Washington auxiliaries, Veterans of Foreign Wars. She is second to the right, first row. Mrs. Cecil was at Stadium to award two students, Perry Burkhart and Dave Glenn, who had captured first and second place essay honors among Tacoma students and would be eligible for honors in the statewide essay contest sponsored by the auxiliaries of the V.F.W. The other women in the group were not identified. (T.Times 4-25-40, p. 20-article on awards)
