Students at Washington School have gathered food for needy families during the school's Thanksgiving basket drive. Juanita Evans, Janice Johnson, Richard Howson, Raymond Demorest, and Robert Sinclair, from left to right, are creating a festive arrangement of produce and home canned, as well as commercially canned, foods on tables decorated with crepe paper. Scarecrows guard the table from the right hand side of photo. Similar drives were in progress at every school in the city. Needy families were instructed to contact the schools directly. It is estimated that schoolchildren in Tacoma will feed 200 families this year. (T.Times,11/23/37, p.16).
