--Freeway Model Displayed--
A 40-foot model of the Tacoma Freeway as it will appear when completed in several years is being displayed this month on the second floor of the county-City Building. Picture shows freeway running east to and over the Puyallup River. G. M. Schuster, city public works director, front right, points to state approach to city's projected Yakima Avenue Bridge. Under his arm are Delin Avenue and Tacoma Avenue undercrossings. Behind Schuster are Harold A. Hagestad, left, coordinating engineer between Tacoma and state, and Myron Calkins, city engineer. They are pointing to the complex of crossings and approaches that will be the Pacific Avenue Interchange, designed to relieve Freeway of Cross-town traffic congestion.

ca. 1960. This self portrait of photographer Virna Haffer was made circa 1960. Apparently she had greased her face with vasoline and then patted her face with paper. Her profile emerges from a black background with eyes seemingly shut tightly. (Virna Haffer Collection) (Bullock: A Turbulent Lens, p. 40)
