North Thurston High School Senior Pranks, 1973. These two black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images show a wall built from soda cans blocking the front entrance to North Thurston High School. Image 26 shows the wall blocking the entrance. The wall is twelve soda cans in height. The number "73" is spelled out in soda cans on the ground in front of the wall. The wall is parallel to the image plane. Image 27 shows the can wall from farther away than in the first image. Here "THURSTON HIGH" is visible on the roof above the door. Image 28 again shows the wall, but here the photographer has moved approximately 25 feet to their right. Image 29 shows a man in a suit and tie and a man with glasses wearing a pinstriped, short-sleeved button-up shirt standing in front of the wall of cans. The man in the suit is on the left and has his right hand on his right hip. He is facing downward and smiling. The man in the glasses in on the right, has his left hand on his left hip, and is facing away from the camera. Image 30 is very similar to the previous image, but here the man in the suit has both hands down at his sides. Image 31 is similar to the previous image, but here man in the suit is looking over at the wall of cans. The man with the glasses has his hands on his hips and is looking over his left shoulder toward the camera. Here it can be seen that the man in the glasses has a mustache. Image 32 shows the man in the suit with his hands on the shoulders of a young man in a newsboy cap and a sweater vest. The man with the glasses and mustache has one hand on the young man's shoulder. Image 33 shows the man in the suit and the man with the glasses and mustache crouching down in front of the wall of cans. Image 34 is very similar to the previous image, but here the photographer has zoomed out slightly or moved away from the two men.Made/Created
