Children at Sherman Elementary School, 4502 No. 39th St., squint smilingly into the sun on a bright spring day in 1968. The school, designed by Robert Billsbrough Price, had opened in 1954, replacing outdated facilities near the same location. The old school had been razed in July, 1953, to make room for playgrounds. In the late 1990's, the "new" Sherman would suffer the fate of its predecessor and be demolished for a newer version opened in 1998. Photograph ordered by Citizens Committee for School Support and used in an ad in the May 7, 1968, News Tribune asking for passage of Proposition A to build new schools and remodel several others. The caption in the ad read "Good classrooms do make a difference...End overcrowding." Passage of the school bond would not mean that taxes would increase.

Close-up of splashing fountain in new science complex at the University of Puget Sound. The circular fountain, 74-feet in diameter, was in the middle of the U-shaped, three story Gothic-Tudor Thompson Hall. The $4,000,000 project was dedicated on April 21, 1968. In 2005 the university decided to build a new 51,000 sq.foot science building linking the north and south wings of Thompson Hall, thereby displacing the fountain and a large sequoia tree. The school hoped to build a new highly visible water feature on the west side of campus. (www.ups.edu)

Dissension was in the air on April 17, 1946, when approximately 50 students from Robert Gray Jr. High took to the streets to protest what they termed the "firing" of physical education teacher Victor Kovack by Principal Carroll A. Payne. The protest continued for 3 days, gathering up to 150 students demanding the removal of Principal Payne. When police forced the picketers from in front of the building, they paraded through the streets of South Tacoma. Kovack and Principal Payne had disagreed over the use of corporal punishment at the school, with Kovack opposing it. Students were advised that Mr. Kovack had been transferred, not fired, by the school district. After an investigation by the school board into the alleged physical punishments, Principal Payne was exonerated, but the regulations concerning corporal punishment in the schools were more clearly defined and published.
