On November 6, 1935, Mrs. George Martin and her daughter Roberta posed with a seashell collection. Mrs. Martin held a larger sea creature while the girl held a tiny starfish. The marine specimens were being presented to Bremerton High School by Mr. George Martin, vice-principal of the school and science teacher. He acquired the specimens during a nine week oceanography course at Friday Harbor, offered by the University of Washington and endowed by the Rockefeller Foundation. The school utility man had constructed a cabinet for the rear of the science room to display the collection. Mr. Martin hoped to encourage the students to take an interest in marine life and to make their own collections. Photograph ordered by the Bremerton Sun. (Bremerton Sun 2/1/1936, pg. 1)
